create-remix

The create-remix CLI will create a new Remix project. Without passing arguments, this command will launch an interactive CLI to configure the new project and set it up in a given directory.

npx create-remix@latest

Optionally you can pass the desired directory path as an argument:

npx create-remix@latest <projectDir>

The default application is a TypeScript app using the built in Remix App Server. If you wish to create your application based on a different setup, you can use the --template flag:

npx create-remix@latest --template <templateUrl>

To get a full list of available commands and flags, run:

npx create-remix@latest --help

Package managers

create-remix can also be invoked using various package managers, allowing you to choose between npm, Yarn, pnpm, and Bun for managing the install process.

npm create remix@latest <projectDir>
# or
yarn create remix@latest <projectDir>
# or
pnpm create remix@latest <projectDir>
# or
bunx create-remix@latest <projectDir>

create-remix --template

For a more comprehensive guide to available templates, see our templates page.

A valid template can be:

• a GitHub repo shorthand — :username/:repo or :username/:repo/:directory
• the URL of a GitHub repo (or directory within it) — https://github.com/:username/:repo or https://github.com/:username/:repo/tree/:branch/:directory
  • The branch name (:branch) cannot have a / when using this format since create-remix cannot unable to differentiate the branch name from the directory path
• the URL of a remote tarball — https://example.com/remix-template.tar.gz
• a local file path to a directory of files — ./path/to/remix-template
• a local file path to a tarball — ./path/to/remix-template.tar.gz

create-remix --overwrite

If create-remix detects any file collisions between the template and the directory you are creating your app in, it will prompt you for confirmation that it's OK to overwrite those files with the template versions. You may skip this prompt with the --overwrite CLI flag.
