What is it?

hs get-started is a guided CLI command that helps you go from zero to a deployed HubSpot app in minutes. It scaffolds a sample app with an app card, walks you through building and deploying, and points you to next steps—all from your local environment. This command is part of the 2025.2 developer platform projects framework, where apps are defined and managed through source-controlled configuration files.

Why does it matter?

Getting to a first “hello world” on HubSpot was not always easy or fast in the past. With hs get-started, you have a smooth, foolproof path to early success, making it much easier to begin experimenting with HubSpot app development. Once you’re comfortable, you can move on to the more advanced hs project create command to fully customize your app configuration and features.

How does it work?

When you run hs get-started, the CLI walks you through:

• Creating a starter project with an app card
• Building and deploying your project to HubSpot
• Installing the app and app card through the HubSpot UI
• Exploring next steps with links to docs, tutorials, and feature add-ons

Because the new projects framework moves app setup into code, all app details (such as authentication type, distribution, and features) are defined in configuration files. This makes it easier to extend your app with components like workflow actions, settings pages, or webhooks as you continue building.
