# 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.
## Usage
```plaintext
nomad job init [options] [filename]
```
You may optionally supply a filename for the example job to be written to. The
default filename for the generated file is "example.nomad".
Please refer to the [jobspec] and [drivers] pages to learn how to customize the
template.
## Init Options
- `-short`: If set, a minimal jobspec without comments is emitted.
- `-connect`: If set, the jobspec includes Consul Connect integration.
## Examples
Generate an example job file:
```shell-session
$ nomad job init
Example job file written to example.nomad
```
