Nitrokit CLI

A powerful and user-friendly command-line interface (CLI) to help developers quickly set up new projects using the Nitrokit boilerplate. Built with a focus on speed and ease of use, this CLI automates the project creation process and lets you choose your preferred package manager.

✨ Features

• Fast Project Creation: Quickly clone the latest Nitrokit boilerplate from the official GitHub repository.
• Package Manager Selection: Choose between pnpm, npm, or yarn to automatically set up your project's dependencies.
• Clean Installation: The CLI automatically removes unnecessary files, such as the .git directory and other lock files, ensuring a clean and fresh project start.
• User-Friendly Interface: Provides clear, colored output and progress spinners to guide you through the setup process.
• Language Generation: Add new languages to your project with a single command (nitrokit generate language).
• Dependency Management: Keep your project up-to-date with a powerful update command that includes security audits and backups.
• AI-Powered Translations: Automatically translate your language files from English to other languages using Google Gemini (nitrokit translate).
• Version Checking: Automatically checks for new versions of the CLI and notifies you when an update is available.

🚀 Installation

• Commander.js: For defining the CLI commands and arguments.
• Inquirer.js: For creating the interactive prompt for package manager selection.
• Chalk & Ora: For a professional, colored, and animated terminal output.
• fs-extra: For handling file system operations easily and efficiently.
