create-react-shadcn-kit

Create a React (Vite) app with shadcn/ui pre-integrated — zero config.

One command, a fresh Vite + React project, Tailwind configured, shadcn/ui initialized, path aliases wired, and your favorite components already installed. No juggling three CLIs.

Usage

npx create-react-shadcn-kit@latest

Or pass a name directly:

npx create-react-shadcn-kit my-app

What it does

1. Scaffolds a fresh Vite + React app via create-vite@latest (TypeScript or JavaScript).
2. Installs and wires up Tailwind CSS v4 via @tailwindcss/vite.
3. Configures @/* path aliases in vite.config, tsconfig.json, and tsconfig.app.json.
4. Runs shadcn@latest init inside the new project.
5. Pre-installs the shadcn components you selected.
6. Wires up state management — Redux Toolkit (default) or Zustand, with a sample store and (for Redux) <Provider> already wrapping <App /> in main.tsx.
7. (Optional) Sets up Husky + lint-staged + Prettier with a pre-commit hook that runs eslint --fix and prettier --write on staged files.

You skip the "install Vite → add Tailwind → patch configs → read shadcn docs → run init → add components one by one" ritual.
