-## apply
-
-Use the `apply` command to apply a preset to an existing project.
-
-`apply` overwrites preset-driven config, fonts, CSS variables, and detected installed UI components. Commit or stash your changes before continuing so you can easily go back.
-
-`apply` requires an existing `components.json`. If your project is not initialized yet, run `shadcn init --preset <preset>` first.
-
-```bash
-npx shadcn@latest apply --preset a2r6bw
-```
-
-You can also pass the preset as a positional argument:
-
-```bash
-npx shadcn@latest apply a2r6bw
-```
-
-Named presets work the same way:
-
-```bash
-npx shadcn@latest apply lyra
-```
-
-If no preset is provided, the CLI offers to open the custom preset builder on `ui.shadcn.com/create`.
-
-Use `apply` for overwrite/reinstall flows. If you want to refresh config and CSS without reinstalling existing components, use `init --force --no-reinstall` instead.

-Usage: shadcn apply [options] [preset]
