Vue Project Scaffolding (create-vue)

create-vue is the official and recommended command-line interface (CLI) tool for quickly scaffolding new Vue.js projects. Currently at stable version 3.22.2, it is actively maintained by the Vue.js core team with frequent releases to align with Vue, Vite, and ecosystem updates. Its primary differentiator from the legacy Vue CLI is its foundation on Vite, providing a significantly faster development experience through rapid cold starts and instant Hot Module Replacement (HMR). Unlike Vue CLI, create-vue primarily acts as a scaffolding utility, generating a pre-configured project and then delegating subsequent operations to Vite, allowing projects to fully leverage the Vite plugin ecosystem. Since v3.22.0, it defaults to generating TypeScript projects, reflecting the modern Vue development landscape.
