# CLI overview

<PageBadges />

`form0-cli` is the recommended entry point for creating and working with form0 projects. It can
initialize projects, load and edit schemas, validate and run them, start local previews, manage
connectors, and synchronize forms from reform.

Use the interactive shell for an ongoing project session, or standalone commands for scripts and
one-off tasks. Start with [Install and update](/cli/install-update), then
[Initialize a project](/cli/initialize-project).

Schema fields and behavior are documented under [Core](/core/overview).
