Let’s Fuckin’ Go! (lfgo)

A fast CLI tool to scaffold projects from template repositories.

Usage

pnpx lfgo <preset|repo> <project-name>

Using a preset

pnpx lfgo react my-awesome-app

Using any GitHub repo

You can also specify any GitHub repository:

# Using username/repo format
pnpx lfgo username/repo-name my-project

# Using full URL
pnpx lfgo https://github.com/username/repo-name my-project

If the value doesn't match a known preset, the tool will ask you to confirm that you want to use it as a GitHub repo.

What it does

This will:

1. Clone the template repository (with --depth 1 for efficiency)
2. Create a fresh git repository
3. Update the package.json with your project name
4. Create an initial commit
5. Install dependencies with pnpm
6. Display next steps

Available Presets

• react - React + TypeScript + Vite Template

Installation

Use with pnpx (recommended)

No installation needed! Just run:

pnpx lfgo react my-project

Global Installation

pnpm add -g lfgo

Then use it anywhere:

lfgo react my-project

Adding New Presets

To add a new preset, edit bin/lfgo.js and add an entry to the PRESETS object:

const PRESETS = {
  react: {
    repo: "https://github.com/coreyward/quick-start-react-template",
    name: "React + TypeScript + Vite Template",
  },
  // Add your new preset here
  vue: {
    repo: "https://github.com/yourusername/vue-template",
    name: "Vue 3 Template",
  },
};
