init命令允许你使用start.spring.io在不离开shell的情况下创建一个新的项目。例如：
$ spring init --dependencies=web,data-jpa my-project
Using service at https://start.spring.io
Project extracted to '/Users/developer/example/my-project'
这创建了一个my-project目录，它是一个基本Maven且依赖spring-boot-starter-web和spring-boot-starter-data-jpa的项目。你可以使用--list参数列出该服务的能力。
$ spring init --list
