create-ts-setup

Interactive CLI to scaffold a barebones custom TypeScript setup.

Usage

pnpm dlx create-ts-setup

Or with npm:

npm create ts-setup

You can also pass an optional project name:

pnpm dlx create-ts-setup my-app

What it does

1. Prompts for project name, package manager, git init, and dependency install
2. Copies the template from templates/base/ into your target directory
3. Replaces {{name}} and {{projectName}} tokens in template files
4. Optionally runs git init and installs dependencies

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build
node dist/cli.js test-out

Publishing

pnpm build
npm publish --access public

After publishing, users can run:

pnpm dlx create-ts-setup

Customizing the template

Edit files under templates/base/. The CLI copies them as-is and performs token replacement — no CLI code changes needed.

Available tokens:

• {{name}} — npm-safe package name
• {{projectName}} — original project name from the prompt
