Getting Started

To scaffold a template using codekon, make sure you have git and pnpm installed. We use pnpm in our projects and strongly recommend you to do so too. For now, codekon only supports pnpm.

• To use codekon interactively:

Using npm:

npx codekon

Using pnpm:

pnpx codekon

• Follow the prompts. The project will be created in the directory.

• You can also directly create projects by passing the arguments:

npx codekon [projectName] [templateName]

pnpx codekon [projectName] [templateName]

For example:

pnpx codekon my-app react-js-app

• To get the help message run codekon --help. Watch video tutorial.
