Interesting! The issue I have is the opposite! The latest stable release version as of today is 0.11, and I installed it through my OS package manager (pacman, on Arch Linux). And in this version, zig init is an unknown command:

error: unknown command: init

But, the commands init-exe and init-lib do exist, and running the former does work:

❯ zig init-exe 
info: Created build.zig
info: Created src/main.zig
info: Next, try `zig build --help` or `zig build run`

Which matches the version of the docs you linked to! But, the current master has the docs:

www.ziglang.org/content/learn/getting-started.en.md

Lines 116 to 134 in b66e89a

## Run Hello World
If you completed the installation process correctly, you should now be able to invoke the Zig compiler from your shell.
Let's test this by creating your first Zig program!
Navigate to your projects directory and run:
```bash
mkdir hello-world
cd hello-world
zig init
```
This should output:
```
info: created build.zig
info: created build.zig.zon
info: created src/main.zig
info: created src/root.zig
info: see `zig build --help` for a menu of options
```

Which makes me think that the docs have been updated to some newer version (e.g 0.12) that isn't stable yet, and can result in confusing behaviour for new users 😅

I'm curious what the reason was to merge init-exe and init-lib?
Couldn't find anything so far 😇

this issue still persists in 0.12 init works. It would be nice to get a deprecation notice
