🛠️ Usage

You can generate a project with or without specifying a template:

Default usage or custom template design

npx nodegenx

With template option

npx nodegenx --template <template-name>

Replace <template-name> with any available template name.

📖 Examples

Generate a project using the default template:

npx nodegenx

Generate a project using a specific template:

npx nodegenx --template basic-express

📌 Roadmap

• Add more templates (Express, GraphQL, REST API, etc.)
• Auto-install Node modules (optional)
• Docker and Git configuration options
• Contributing guidelines

✨ Philosophy

Nodegenx aims to be friendly, clear, and developer-focused, with an emphasis on a quick start experience.
