🚀 Getting Started

To create a new Fluent project, you can use the fluent init command. This will create a new Fluent project in the current directory.

NOTE: Make sure the current directory is empty before running the fluent init command, otherwise, add a name after the command to create a new directory with the project name, e.g. fluent init my_project.

fluent init

You will be prompted to fill relevant information about your project like project name, author, etc. Once you've filled in the information, the project will be created and you can start coding!

Example structure:

my_project/
    src/
        main.fluent
    Fluent.yml
