+'@backstage/create-app': patch
+---
+
+Updated the root `package.json` in the template to use the new `backstage-cli repo start` command.
+
+The `yarn dev` command is now redundant and has been removed from the template. We recommend existing projects to add these or similar scripts to help redirect users:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "dev": "echo \"Use 'yarn start' instead\"",
+    "start-backend": "echo \"Use 'yarn start backend' instead\""
+  }
+}
+```
