prettier-cm

Introduction

prettier-cm is a lightweight CLI tool that quickly sets up Prettier configuration in any project.

With a single command, it generates:

• .prettierrc
• .prettierignore

directly inside your project root.

Why prettier-cm?

Setting up Prettier manually for every project usually means:

• Creating configuration files repeatedly
• Copying the same formatting rules
• Reusing ignore configurations manually

prettier-cm automates this setup and provides a consistent starting configuration instantly.

Features

• One command setup
• Creates .prettierrc
• Creates .prettierignore
• Full-stack friendly configuration
• No manual copy-paste
• Ready to use in any project
