ngen

Extremely simple CLI tool for kickstarting new projects with your own templates. Folder contents are simply copied to the target directory. Autocomplete prompt is provided by Enquirer.

Template folders are currently hardcoded to be found in ~/source/repos/templates/ (where ~ is your user folder in Windows).

Build and install

npm i && npm run build && npm i -g

Usage

Run the CLI with ngen. You can either run it from the project's directory, or the folder above it, in which case ngen wil create a directory for you.

Example output

$ ngen
✔ Project template: · express-template
✔ Project name (leave empty to use current directory): ·
✔ Files generated
