How to create a new Unity Package

Run the following command in a terminal and answer the prompts: create-unity-package

By default, this creates a new folder with the unique package name entered during the prompts. If you would like to name the folder differently, you can change the folder name afterward or use the --output argument when generating the package. For more help use the --help.

create-unity-package --output <YourPackageName>

In your current working directory it will create a new package directory with the name of your package and the following structure.

<root>
  ├── package.json
  ├── README.md
  ├── CHANGELOG.md
  ├── LICENSE.md  # Defaults to MIT License
  ├── Third Party Notices.md
