## What it is
create-vue is the official scaffolding CLI for starting Vite-powered Vue projects, generating pre-configured boilerplate based on interactive prompts or feature flags. It replaces Vue CLI as the recommended way to bootstrap Vue 3 (and legacy Vue 2) applications.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new Vue 3 project with Vite
- create a Vue project with TypeScript and router preconfigured
- generate minimal Vue boilerplate from the command line
- migrate from Vue CLI to a Vite-based Vue setup
- bootstrap a Vue 2 project for legacy IE11 support

## When to choose
- starting any new Vue 3 project
- you want Vite's fast dev server and HMR out of the box
- you need configurable feature flags (TypeScript, router, Pinia, ESLint) at scaffold time

## When to avoid
- adding features to an existing Vue project rather than creating one
- building with frameworks other than Vue
- you need webpack-specific Vue CLI tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, build-tool, boilerplate, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: vue, vite, scaffolding, project-generator, typescript, vue3, command-line, nodejs
