Initialization
Before initializing, check if you are already in a Firebase project directory by
looking for firebase.json.
Project Directory: Navigate to the root directory of the codebase. (Only if starting a completely new project from scratch without an existing codebase, create a directory first:
mkdir my-project && cd my-project)Initialize Services: Run the initialization command:
npx -y firebase-tools@latest init
The CLI will guide you through:
- Selecting features (Firestore, Functions, Hosting, etc.).
- Associating with an existing project or creating a new one.
- Configuring files (e.g.
firebase.json,.firebaserc).
