🚀 Getting Started

To create a new Zelix project, you can use the zelix init command. This will create a new Zelix project in the current directory.

NOTE: Make sure the current directory is empty before running the zelix init command, otherwise, add a name after the command to create a new directory with the project name, e.g. zelix init my_project.

zelix init

You will be prompted to fill relevant information about your project like project name, author, etc. Once you've filled in the information, the project will be created, and you can start coding!

Example structure:

my_project/
    src/
        main.zx
    Zelix.yml
    .gitignore

To run your code use:

zelix run
