# Initialize Options

### -\-force

Catalyst enables you to force initialize a project or its resources in a directory. If you encounter any issues with initializing a project, you can use this option.

To perform a force initialization of a project, execute the following command:

```sh
 catalyst init --force 
```

You can follow the same steps to initialize resources, as mentioned earlier.
