create-zig

Create a Zig project without installing Zig.

npm create zig my-app
bun create zig my-app
pnpm create zig my-app

Then:

cd my-app
npm install
npm start

What it does

1. Runs zig init in the new directory, using Zig from @zigc/cli.
2. Adds a package.json with @zigc/cli as a dev dependency, so zig comes from node_modules.
3. Adds .zig-cache/, zig-out/ and node_modules/ to .gitignore.
