create-vrtw-usgmathe

Create a new project using the vite-react-ts-tailwind-minimal template.

🚀 Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• Git (optional, for initializing a git repository)
• Recommended: pnpm, but the CLI works with npm or yarn as well. The script will detect your package manager automatically.

🚀 Usage

Recommended

pnpm create vrtw-usgmathe@latest my-app

Alternative

npx create-vrtw-usgmathe my-app

or

npm create vrtw-usgmathe my-app

CLI Flags

• --no-install → Skip automatic dependency installation
• --no-git or --git=false → Skip git initialization

The CLI will detect whether you ran it with npm, pnpm, or yarn and use the same package manager for installing dependencies and shadcn UI.

✨ Features

• Vite
• React 18
• TypeScript 5
• TailwindCSS
• Prettier + Tailwind sorting
• Minimal and clean project structure
• Optional shadcn UI integration

✅ What This CLI Does

• Clones the template from GitHub
• Installs dependencies (optional)
• Initializes git (optional)
• Offers to install shadcn UI (optional)
• Prepares everything for development

🛠 Next Steps

After creating your project:

# 1. Enter your project folder
cd my-app

# 2. Install dependencies (if you skipped automatic install)
pnpm install

# 3. Run development server
pnpm run dev

If you chose to install shadcn UI during setup, it will already be initialized. Otherwise, you can manually add it anytime:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init

The CLI will replace your package manager with npm, pnpm, or yarn automatically based on how you ran it.
