Command Line Interface

SvelteKit projects use Vite, meaning you'll mostly use its CLI (albeit via npm run dev/build/preview scripts):

• vite dev — start a development server
• vite build — build a production version of your app
• vite preview — run the production version locally

However SvelteKit includes its own CLI for initialising your project:

svelte-kit sync

svelte-kit sync creates the tsconfig.json and all generated types (which you can import as ./$types inside routing files) for your project. When you create a new project, it is listed as the prepare script and will be run automatically as part of the npm lifecycle, so you should not ordinarily have to run this command.
