create-miller

Create a new Miller application with the template version bundled in this package.

pnpm create miller@latest my-app

For deterministic agent and CI usage:

pnpm create miller@latest my-app \
    --name "My App" \
    --slug my-app \
    --yes \
    --json

Use --no-install to create the project without installing dependencies or running mill doctor.

The generated project's next step is a non-interactive setup plan:

pnpm run mill -- setup --from-env --dry-run --json

The installer excludes local Terraform variables and state and removes this repository's maintainer-specific remote backend configuration. New projects begin with local Terraform state and can add their own remote backend deliberately.

Maintainer workflow

From the Miller workspace:

pnpm --filter create-miller test
pnpm --filter create-miller pack --pack-destination /tmp

The prepack hook builds a clean template from the workspace. The postpack hook removes the temporary package contents again.

Releases run through semantic-release from the workspace root. Conventional commits on main publish to npm with tags such as create-miller-v1.2.0; release/* branches publish release candidates to the next channel.

The first release needs an npm automation token in the repository secret NPM_TOKEN because the package does not yet have an npm settings page. After that release, configure the npm trusted publisher for darraghoriordan/use-miller and publish.yaml, then remove the token.
