Rocket-Boilerplate

A small TypeScript + Bun CLI that scaffolds the Prisma Express boilerplate (main branch only) from: https://github.com/aHasnat1997/Rocket-Prisma-Boilerplate

What it does

• Prompts for project name and package manager
• Clones the template (main branch only) to the target folder
• Removes the template’s .git folder
• Updates package.json field name
• Installs dependencies using the chosen manager (Deno is skipped)

Prerequisites

• git: available on your PATH
• One package manager: bun, npm, yarn, or pnpm
• Runtime: Bun is required to run this CLI as published (#!/usr/bin/env bun)

Install

• Global (optional): npm i -g create-rocket

  requires Bun available on PATH because the binary uses Bun

• No install (recommended): bunx create-rocket

Quick Start bunx create-rocket

Follow the prompts

Usage (Local Dev) bun src/index.ts

CLI Options

• --name, -n: Project name to use (skips prompt)
• --pm, -p: Package manager to use (npm|yarn|pnpm|bun|dino|deno)

Examples

Fully interactive

bunx create-rocket

Non-interactive name + bun

bunx create-rocket --name my-rocket-app --pm bun

Behavior & Notes

• Branch: clones only the main branch of the template
• Git history: removed to detach your new project from the template
• Deno: dependency installation is skipped because the template is Node-based
• Next steps: after completion, cd <project-name> and run your dev script (e.g., bun dev, npm run dev, yarn dev, or pnpm dev)

Troubleshooting

• git not found: install git and ensure it is on PATH
• install fails: check your chosen package manager is installed (e.g., bun -v, npm -v, etc.)
• permission denied: on Unix, ensure the binary is executable or use bunx create-rocket
• network/firewall: cloning or install requires network access

FAQ

• Can I run with npx? This CLI is Bun-based. Use bunx create-rocket, or convert the project to produce a Node-compatible dist/index.js with a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang.
