create

The create command is used to create a new automation template. This will only create the directory and template files, and will not register the automation.

bash

blocks create hello_world

This will create a new automation in the .blocks directory with the following structure:

.blocks/
    hello_world/
        main.py
        requirements.txt

You can edit the main.py file to define your automation, and add any dependencies to requirements.txt. We automatically add blocks-sdk as a dependency. You’ll want to update the blocks-sdk version often to get the latest features and bug fixes.
