# tb create (deprecated)

{% callout type="warning" %}
`tb create` is deprecated.

Use [tb init](/forward/dev-reference/commands/tb-init) to scaffold projects.
{% /callout %}

The command is kept only for backward compatibility and prints a deprecation warning.

## Replacement

Use `tb init` instead:

```shell
tb init --type cli
```

Common equivalents:

- Choose project folder: `tb init --folder tinybird`
- Set development mode: `tb init --dev-mode manual`
- Generate CI/CD templates: `tb init --cicd github` or `tb init --cicd gitlab`
