Generated Structure

app/                    # Routes, layouts, and page-level UI
src/components/         # Reusable UI components
src/utils/              # Utility helpers
public/                 # Static assets

Common Usage

Create project in current directory:

npx @devkitlab/create-nextjs@latest .

Create project in a named directory:

npx @devkitlab/create-nextjs@latest my-app

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.17.0

Notes

• The generated template is Yarn-first (preinstall enforces Yarn).
• Repo-only workflow files are not copied into generated apps. In particular, notify-package-repo.yml is excluded.

For Maintainers

This package repo publishes updates from the template submodule via GitHub Actions.

• Publish workflow: .github/workflows/publish.yml
• Triggered by template update dispatch or package changes
• Publishes only when the current package version is not already on npm
