That’s it! You now have a new project created. You’ll even notice a new basic.config.ts / basic.config.js file in your project directory with your project ID included!

If you run basic init in a codebase with an existing basic.config.ts file (e.g., created using via create-lofi-app), you’ll notice that the project_id in your basic.config.ts file gets automatically updated.
