## What it is
create-nuxt-app is a scaffolding CLI that generates a fully configured Nuxt.js project in seconds, letting users pick package manager, language, UI framework, linting, testing, and rendering mode. It has been merged into the Nuxt CLI repository (nuxt/cli), which now handles new development.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new nuxt.js project
- bootstrap a vue app with ssr
- create a nuxt app with tailwind and typescript
- generate a nuxt project template from the command line
- set up a nuxt project with eslint and jest preconfigured
- start a static site or spa with nuxt quickly

## When to choose
- you want a ready-to-run Nuxt.js starter with interactive prompts for tooling choices
- you need SSR or static rendering set up out of the box with linting and testing options

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Nuxt 3 project - use the newer nuxi CLI from nuxt/cli instead
- you need a non-Vue framework scaffolder
