ionic start
Create a new project
This command creates a working Ionic app. It installs dependencies for you and sets up your project.
Running ionic start without any arguments will prompt you for information about your new project.
The first argument is your app's name. Don't worry--you can always change this later. The --project-id is generated from name unless explicitly specified.
The second argument is the template from which to generate your app. You can list all templates with the --list option. You can also specify a git repository URL for template, in which case the existing project will be cloned.
Use the --type option to start projects using older versions of Ionic. For example, you can start an Ionic 3 project with --type=ionic-angular. Use --list to see all project types and templates.
