Creating Projects

Ghostable projects can be created using the Ghostable UI or the CLI: 
ghostable init
We recommend using the Ghostable UI if you’re starting fresh. It provides a streamlined interface to name your project, assign it to an organization, and immediately begin managing environments. If you’re working with an existing Laravel project, run the init command inside your project directory: 
ghostable init
This command will walk you through selecting an existing project or choosing [Create a new project]. If you create a new project, you’ll be prompted to enter its name. The command then links the project to your local .env file and generates a .ghostable.yml config file in the root of your project. This file tracks metadata like your project ID and environment associations.

​
Projects & Organizations

Before creating a project, make sure you’re on the correct organization. You can list, check, or switch organizations using: 
ghostable organization:list
ghostable organization:current
ghostable organization:switch
To view all projects for the current organization: 
ghostable project:list
Both organization:list and project:list display tables and require no interactive prompts.

​
Deleting Projects

Projects can only be deleted through the Ghostable web app. This action is not available via the CLI. When you delete a project, all associated environments and their stored .env data will be permanently removed. This action is irreversible, so proceed with caution. Ghostable does not delete any data outside of its own system. If you’ve pulled or synced .env files to your local machine or other services, those copies will remain until removed manually.
