Stack Boot CLI

Modular, production-focused project scaffolding.
Base templates + clean variants. No magic. Full control.

🚀 What is Stack Boot CLI?

Stack Boot CLI is a modular project generator designed for real-world applications — not demos.

Instead of generating bloated boilerplate, Stack Boot follows a Base + Variant architecture where features like authentication are layered cleanly on top of a solid foundation.

The result is code that feels hand-written, predictable, and easy to extend.

✨ Zero magic. Full control. Clean DX.

🎯 Why Stack Boot?

🧱 Modular by Design

Start with a clean base template and layer optional variants like authentication without hacks or flags everywhere.

📁 Predictable Structure

Folder structures and configuration you can understand instantly — no hidden generators or unreadable abstractions.

🧠 Developer-First DX

Interactive prompts, colored logs, safe defaults, and clear next-steps after generation.

📦 Installation

Recommended (no install required)

Or install globally

npm install -g @stackboot/cli

🛠 Usage

stackboot create <stack> [options]

Examples

# React

💡 You don’t need to pass everything upfront — the CLI will guide you interactively.

✅ After Generation

React / Node

cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev

Java

cd my-service
mvn spring-boot:run

🧪 Philosophy

“The generated code should be understandable without reading the generator.”

Stack Boot exists to make project setup boring again — so you can focus on building features, not fighting boilerplate.
