Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the CLI with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer global require geoffselby/jigsaw-installer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To install and initialize a new site with [Jigsaw](https://jigsaw.tighten.co):

```
jigsaw new my-site
```

> This will install Jigsaw in a directory named `my-site` and initialize your Jigsaw site. It also initializes Git for you and creates an initial commit automatically.

### Using starter templates

[](#using-starter-templates)

Jigsaw allows you to use a starter template when initializing a new site. You can choose between the two official starters ([blog](https://github.com/tighten/jigsaw-blog-template) and [docs](https://github.com/tighten/jigsaw-docs-template)) or any third-party starter on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/tightenco/jigsaw?query=tighten%20jigsaw%20starter).

To use an official starter with this installer, use the `--starter` option:

```
jigsaw new my-site --starter blog
```

Or, to use a third-party starter, use the `vendor/package` syntax:

```
jigsaw new my-site --starter rickwest/jigsaw-clean-blog
```

### Installing the development version

[](#installing-the-development-version)

If you would like to install the development version of Jigsaw to test out new features before a stable release, use the `--dev` option:

```
jigsaw new my-site --dev
```

### Install a specific version

[](#install-a-specific-version)

In rare cases, you may need to install a specific version of Jigsaw. To do this, use the `--v` option:

```
jigsaw new my-site --v
```

### Don't initialize Git

[](#dont-initialize-git)

If you don't want to initialize Git automatically, use the `--no-git` option:

```
jigsaw new my-site --no-git
```
