I want to use clj and deps.
How can I bootstrap/scallfold projects?

Whats the difference between clj-new and deps-new ?

Quoting Sean Corfield’s comment on Slack:

Re: clj-new – that should be considered “legacy” at this point and deps-new should generally be used instead.
clj-new supports legacy templates (lein, boot) but those templates generally produce projects based on Leiningen or Boot. So that doesn’t help you with the Clojure CLI :slight_smile:
deps-new is more declarative and is focused on Clojure CLI projects. I think all deps-new templates produce CLI-based projects (but, hey, a template can produce whatever the author wants!).
