The official scaffolding CLI for building apps on top of [Twenty CRM](https://twenty.com). Sets up a ready-to-run project with [twenty-sdk](https://www.npmjs.com/package/twenty-sdk).
## Quick start
```bash
npx create-twenty-app@latest my-twenty-app
cd my-twenty-app
yarn twenty dev
```
The scaffolder will:
1. Create a new project with TypeScript, linting, tests, and a preconfigured `twenty` CLI
2. Start a local Twenty server via Docker (pulls the latest image automatically)
3. Authenticate with the development API key
## Options
| Flag | Description |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--name <name>` | Set the app name |
| `--display-name <displayName>` | Set the display name |
| `--description <description>` | Set the description |
| `--workspace-url <url>` | Twenty workspace URL (default: `http://localhost:2020`) |
| `--authentication-method <method>` | `oauth` or `apiKey` (default: `apiKey` for local, `oauth` for remote) |
## Documentation
Full documentation is available at **[docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps](https://docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps/getting-started/quick-start)**:
- [Quick Start](https://docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps/getting-started/quick-start) — scaffold, run a local server, sync your code
- [Concepts](https://docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps/getting-started/concepts) — how apps work: entity model, sandboxing, lifecycle
- [Operations](https://docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps/operations/overview) — CLI, testing, CI, deploy and publish
## Troubleshooting
- Server not starting: check Docker is running (`docker info`), then try `yarn twenty server logs`.
- Auth not working: run `yarn twenty remote add --local` to re-authenticate.
- Types not generated: ensure `yarn twenty dev` is running — it auto-generates the typed client.
