# 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
|
|
```
