create-intro-card

Generate your own npx introduction card — a terminal-based business card that anyone can view by running a single command.

Inspired by hello-haimantika.

What It Does

This tool asks you a few questions (name, bio, links) and generates a ready-to-publish npm package. Once published, anyone can run:

npx your-package-name

And see your introduction card right in their terminal!

Quick Start

npx create-intro-card

You'll be prompted for:

• Your name
• A short bio
• Links (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Website — all optional)
• Package name (this becomes your npx command, e.g. hello-yourname)

The tool generates a folder with three files:

hello-yourname/
├── index.js        # Your intro card script
├── package.json    # npm package config
└── README.md       # Publishing instructions

Publishing Your Card

After generating your package:

# 1. Go into the generated folder
cd hello-yourname

# 2. Preview it locally
node index.js

# 3. Log in to npm (create an account at npmjs.com if needed)
npm login

# 4. Publish!
npm publish

That's it! Share your card with the world:

npx hello-yourname
