What init creates
With template (default)
Running ag init "My Awesome Project" creates:
Without template
Only creates the Git repository — no files are generated.
When to use init
Use ag init when you are starting a new project from nothing. After init, someone on the team will need to set up the shared project and you’ll all use ag fetch and ag upload from there.
In most cases, you’ll use ag fetch <url> to download an existing project rather than creating a new one.
