When using the flutter create command to create a new Flutter app project, a counter app project is built by default. Instead of deleting the unwanted pieces of code every time I create a new project I wondered whether there was a way to start with a more simple, empty project. To begin, we will first create a simplified version of the Counter App project and from there change it into a generic "hello world" app.

When we create a new app project, we are given a simple counting app by default. That is all well and good, but what if we want to see examples of other various widgets in action? This is where the --sample argument for the flutter create command-line comes into play. the --sample argument requires a valid id value and in this article, we will learn what those valid id values are and how to choose them in this article.

To interact with Flutter, we use the flutter command-line tool. We can give it a variety of commands, but the focus will be on the flutter create command. First, we'll go over how to use it to create new Flutter projects and then we'll go through the list of the command line arguments available for the create command with additional information provided for some of them.
