Sets default values for Elastic Beanstalk applications created with EB CLI by prompting you with a series of questions.
Note
The values you set with eb init apply only to the current directory and repository on the current computer.
The command doesn't create anything in your Elastic Beanstalk account. To create an Elastic Beanstalk environment, run eb create after running eb init.
