Almost all CLI operations need to be performed within a local project directory. A local project directory can be created by cloning a RedBrick AI project, or by creating a new project using the CLI.

​
Creating a new project

To create a new project, first navigate to an empty directory. We recommend creating a new directory, and naming it after your new project.

$ mkdir my-new-project
$ cd my-new-project

Now to create a new project, simply run: 

$ redbrick init
> Name: my-new-project
> Taxonomy: my-taxonomy-name
> Reviews: 1

You can now verify your current directory is a local project directory by doing: 

$ redbrick info
                 Organization                  
╭──────┬──────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ID   │               ...                    │
│ Name │ My Organization                      │
╰──────┴──────────────────────────────────────╯
                                    Project                                     
╭──────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ID       │ ...                                                               │
│ Name     │ my-new-project                                                    │
│ Taxonomy │ my-taxonomy-name                                                  │
│ URL      │ https://app.redbrickai.com/.../projects/.../                      │
╰──────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

​
Clone an existing project

You can clone an existing project that you (or someone else) created. 

$ redbrick clone 
> Project: 
❯ 3/3
❯ my-new-project (...)
  my-first-project (...)
  my-old-project (...)

You can directly clone a project using it’s project ID.

$ redbrick clone PROJECTID # replace PROJECTID with your project's ID

The project will now be cloned in a directory named after your project (within your current working directory).
