Python
  • Data Analysis Project
  • Flask Project
  • Pytorch
R
  • Tidy Models
  • Shiny App
Quarto
  • Empty project (i.e., Untitled .qmd file)
  • Blog
  • Website
  • Presentation
Other
  • Git: Select Repository
  • Empty: Select Folder
  • Multi-language project (e.g. R and Python)

Start by reviewing the initial New Project Wizard work in #2110 and the related issues #3131 and #1529. Use the listed Python, R, Quarto, Git, empty-folder, and multi-language project types to define a concrete scope; this epic is complete only when a specific project type or improvement has been selected and implemented.
