command: docker init
short: Creates Docker-related starter files for your project
long: |-
Initialize a project with the files necessary to run the project in a container.
Docker Desktop 4.18 and later provides the Docker Init plugin with the `docker init` CLI command. Run `docker init` in your project directory to be walked through the creation of the following files with sensible defaults for your project:
* .dockerignore
* Dockerfile
* docker-compose.yaml
If any of the files already exist, a prompt appears and provides a warning as well as giving you the option to overwrite all the files.
> **Warning**
>
> You can't recover overwritten files.
> To back up an existing file before selecting to overwrite it, rename the file or copy it to another directory.
{: .warning}
After running `docker init`, you can choose one of the following templates:
* Go: Suitable for a Go server application.
* Other: General purpose starting point for containerizing your application.
After `docker init` has completed, you must modify the created files and tailor them to your project. Visit the following topics to learn more about the files:
* [.dockerignore](../../../engine/reference/builder.md#dockerignore-file)
* [Dockerfile](../../../engine/reference/builder.md)
* [docker-compose.yaml](../../../compose/compose-file/03-compose-file.md)

### Example of selecting Other
The following example runs `docker init` and walks through the options after selecting `Other`.
```console
$ docker init
Welcome to the Docker Init CLI!
This utility will walk you through creating the following files with sensible defaults for your project:
- .dockerignore
- Dockerfile
- docker-compose.yaml
Let's get started!
? What application platform does your project use? [Use arrows to move, type to filter]
> Go - suitable for a Go server application
Other - general purpose starting point for containerizing your application
Don't see something you need? Let us know!
Quit
```
The following appears after selecting `Other`.
```console
CREATED: .dockerignore
CREATED: Dockerfile
CREATED: docker-compose.yaml
✔ Your Docker files are ready!
Take a moment to review them and tailor them to your application.
When you're ready, start your application by running: docker compose up --build
```
