+# Feature: Specifying multiple or no package directories for `monas init`
+
+This PR adds the following options to `monas init` command:
+
+- `-d`/`--default-package-dir`: specify one or more package dirs, default value is packages
+  ```
+  $ monas init -d packagedir1 --default-package-dir packagedir2
+  monas Creating pyproject.toml
+  monas Creating packagedir1
+  monas Creating packagedir2
+  monas Creating project files
+  ```
+- `-n`/`--no-package-dir`: this will not add any package directories, and overrides behaviour of -d
+  ```
+  $ monas init -n
+  monas Creating pyproject.toml
+  monas Creating project files
+  ```
