+
+# Project templates
+
+To make it easier for new developers to start working, Meson ships a
+tool to generate the basic setup of different kinds of projects. This
+functionality can be accessed with the `meson init` command. A typical
+project setup would go like this:
+
+```console
+$ mkdir project_name
+$ cd project_name
+$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1
+```
+
+This would create the build definitions for a helloworld type
+project. The result can be compiled as usual. For example it
+could be done like this:
+
+```
+$ meson setup builddir
+$ meson compile -C builddir
+```
+
+The generator has many different projects and settings. They can all
+be listed by invoking the command `meson init --help`.
+
+This feature is available since Meson version 0.45.0.
+
+# Generate a build script for an existing project
+
+With `meson init` you can generate a build script for an existing
+project with existing project files by running the command in the
+root directory of your project. Meson currently supports this
+feature for `executable`, and `jar` projects.
+
+# Build after generation of template
+
+It is possible to have Meson generate a build directory from the
+`meson init` command without running `meson setup`. This is done
+by passing `-b` or `--build` switch.
+
+```console
+$ mkdir project_name
+$ cd project_name
+$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1 --build
+```
