~~create-jireh~~

⚠️ Deprecated: The ~~create-jireh~~ CLI is deprecated and will no longer receive updates.
Please switch to the new CLI tool: jirehgrp

Use this instead:

npx jirehgrp

A fast, interactive CLI tool for scaffolding frontend projects from the Jireh Group Templates repository.

Supports Next.js, React + Vite, Vue 3 + Vite, SvelteKit + Vite, Vanilla JS/TS, and Vanilla + Vite (JS/TS) — all preconfigured with multilingual (🇪🇹 / 🇺🇸) and theme toggle support.

Features

• Interactive CLI — Choose project name, framework, language variant, install dependencies, and initialize Git.
• Multiple Frameworks — Next.js, React (Vite), Vue 3 (Vite), SvelteKit (Vite), Vanilla JS/TS (+ Vite).
• Multilingual Ready — Amharic 🇪🇹 + English 🇺🇸 toggle included in most templates.
• Theme Toggle — Dark/Light mode out of the box.
• Multiple Package Managers — Works with npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun.
• Git Integration — Optional git init with first commit.
• Direct Template Fetching — Downloads templates straight from our GitHub repo via degit.
• Project Structure Mapping — Use --tree flag to generate a visual tree of your project folder saved as structure.txt.

Getting Started

Pick your favorite package manager and run the new CLI:

# npm
npx jirehgrp@latest

# yarn (classic)
yarn create jirehgrp

# pnpm
pnpm dlx jirehgrp

# bun
bunx jirehgrp

Follow the prompts:

1. Project Name — Added to package.json (when present).
2. Template — Pick a framework + JS/TS.
3. Install Dependencies? — Automatically runs with your package manager.
4. Initialize Git? — Optional first commit.

CLI Options

You can also use flags to customize behavior:

| Flag | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | --name | string | Specify project name upfront, skips prompt. | | --template | string | Choose template upfront (e.g. react-vite/ts), skips prompt. | | --install | boolean | Automatically install dependencies after scaffolding (overrides prompt). | | --git | boolean | Initialize a git repository with first commit (overrides prompt). | | --yes | boolean | Overwrite non-empty target directories without confirmation. | | --dir | string | Specify the target directory to create the project in (defaults to project name). | | --pm | string | Force package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun) for install and commands. | | --tag | string | Specify Git branch, tag, or commit ref when fetching the template. | | --tree | boolean | Generate a structure.txt file showing the folder structure of an existing directory. |

Generate Project Structure Tree

Generate a tree view of an existing project directory without scaffolding a new project:

# Long form
npx jirehgrp --tree --dir ./path/to/project

This creates a structure.txt file inside the specified directory containing a colored, hierarchical listing of folders and files, ignoring common unwanted files/folders.

Overwrite Behavior

If the target directory exists and is not empty, the CLI will exit with an error unless you use the --yes flag to force overwriting.

Example:

jirehgrp --template nextjs --name myapp --yes

Examples

# Scaffold a Next.js (TS) project, install deps, and initialize git
npx jirehgrp --template nextjs --install --git

# Scaffold React + Vite TS project into ./my-app directory, overwrite if exists
jirehgrp --template react-vite/ts --name my-app --yes

# Generate a folder tree of an existing project directory
jirehgrp --tree --dir ./my-app

Template Source

All templates are stored in:

jirehgrp-templates

Each CLI option maps to a subfolder inside templates/ (see registry.ts).

Package Manager Support

The CLI detects or allows you to choose a package manager and prints the correct next steps:

• npm → npm install → npm run dev
• yarn → yarn install → yarn dev
• pnpm → pnpm install → pnpm dev
• bun → bun install → bun dev

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18 is required to run ~~create-jireh~~.

Architecture Overview

• src/index.ts — CLI entry point and main control flow
• src/fetchTemplate.ts — Handles cloning and copying templates via degit
• src/postInstall.ts — Installs dependencies and initializes git repo
• src/prompts.ts — Interactive CLI prompts with user
• src/registry.ts — Template definitions and repo metadata
• src/tree.ts — Generates visual folder tree for --tree flag
