create-coral

Scaffold a new Coral module from the official template repository.

The CLI is interactive by default and ships a guided setup flow for naming, destination, and dependency installation.

The important bit: the template repository is the standard. That is where shared package.json scripts, GitHub workflows, Biome rules, and repository conventions should live so every new repo starts the same way.

Usage

pnpm create coral@latest my-module

You can also run it interactively:

pnpm create coral@latest

Options

pnpm create coral@latest my-module -- --no-install

Supported flags:

• --module-name <name>
• --template-repo <org/repo>
• --template-ref <ref>
• --yes
• --install
• --no-install
• --help

What it does

• clones a real GitHub template repository (defaults to Get-Coral/template@main)
• copies it into your target directory
• renames coral-module placeholders
• removes template git history so your new project starts clean
• keeps the template's release automation intact
• optionally runs pnpm install

Because it clones from a real repository, the fastest way to standardize 100 repos is to treat the template repo as the source of truth and cut versioned template refs when the standard changes.

Reuse this style in your own org

Point create-coral at any template repository that encodes your team's standards.

pnpm create coral@latest my-module -- --template-repo YourOrg/your-template --template-ref main

--template-ref accepts a branch, tag, or commit SHA.

For stable team rollouts, prefer a tag or commit SHA instead of main so every developer gets the exact same starting point.
