create-saaskit

Start a production-ready SaaS from the SaaSKit templates.

npx create-saaskit@latest

It asks which template you want, then opens GitHub's "create a repo from a template" page so you generate your own private repo — no clone, no shared history, no tokens.

The template repos are private. Access is granted automatically when you buy SaaSKit and connect GitHub in your Polar customer portal, so only buyers can generate from them. Everyone else just sees GitHub's not-found page (plus a buy link from the CLI).

What it does

1. Pick a template (full-stack or monorepo) with ↑/↓.
2. Opens https://github.com/new?template_owner=alisamadiillc-templates&template_name=….
3. You name the repo, choose Private, and click Create repository.
4. Clone your new repo, copy .env.example → .env.local, install, and run.

Usage

npx create-saaskit [options]

| Option | Description | | --- | --- | | --template <name> | Template to use (full-stack, monorepo). Prompts if omitted | | --no-open | Print the link instead of opening the browser | | -h, --help | Show help | | -v, --version | Show version |

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 18
• A GitHub account with access to the templates (granted on purchase via Polar)

Prerequisites (maintainers)

• Each template repo must have Settings → Template repository enabled.
• The Polar GitHub benefit on each product must grant read access to the matching repo (full-stack → full-stack-nextjs, monorepo → monorepo-full-stack).
