create-appystack

Scaffold a new AppyStack RVETS project in one command.

Usage

npx create-appystack my-app

Or without a name (interactive):

npx create-appystack

The CLI will prompt for:

1. Project name — directory name and package name suffix
2. Package scope — npm scope (e.g. @myorg)
3. Server port — default 5501
4. Client port — default 5500
5. Description — short project description

Then it copies the template, applies your settings, runs npm install, and prints next steps.
