NAME

npm-init - Interactively create a package.json file  

SYNOPSIS

npm init [-f|--force|-y|--yes]

 

DESCRIPTION

This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you. It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to, and then writes a package.json file with the options you've selected. If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to the options in there. It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json without a really good reason to do so. If you invoke it with -f, --force, -y, or --yes, it will use only defaults and not prompt you for any options.
