# Command: job init
**Alias: `nomad init`**
The `job init` command creates an example [job specification][jobspec] in the
current directory that demonstrates some common configurations for tasks, task
groups, runtime constraints, and resource allocation.
Please refer to the [jobspec][] and [drivers](/docs/drivers/index.html)
pages to learn how to customize the template.
## Init Options
* `-short`: If set, a minimal jobspec without comments is emitted.
## Examples
Generate an example job file:
```text
$ nomad job init
Example job file written to example.nomad
```
