The Last Template Before AGI

I believe gitemplate.com is one of the last template I'll ever use.

The Problem

Every time we start a new FastAPI project, we spend hours setting up:

  • Project structure
  • Authentication
  • Security configurations
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Development tools
  • Documentation

Why reinvent the wheel each time?

Enter Gitemplate

A template that's:

  • πŸš€ Production-ready out of the box
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Secure by default
  • 🧰 Complete with modern tooling
  • πŸ“š Well-documented
  • 🎯 Perfect for AI/ML projects, microservices, and web applications

Key Features

1. Production-Grade Architecture

  • Built-in rate limiting
  • Trusted host middleware
  • Security headers configuration
  • CORS configuration
  • Environment variables management

2. Developer Experience

  • Pre-configured development tools (Black, isort, pylint, mypy)
  • Pre-commit hooks for code quality
  • Type hints and comprehensive docstrings
  • Hot reload during development

3. Modern Tech Stack

  • FastAPI for high-performance APIs
  • Jinja2 for templating
  • TailwindCSS for styling
  • Docker support
  • CI/CD workflows

Real-World Example

Take gitingest.com for example - it started as a quick project using this template and has grown into a collaborative success with 20+ contributors. The solid foundation enabled both rapid development AND sustainable growth.

Getting Started

  1. Use the template through GitHub or clone it
  2. Run the interactive setup script
  3. Start building your features!

Detailed documentation available at gitemplate.com

What's Next?

  • API implementation (in progress)
  • Additional authentication methods
  • More example implementations
  • Community templates

Contributing

We believe in open source and welcome contributions! Whether it's:

  • Bug reports
  • Feature requests
  • Pull requests
  • Documentation improvements

Check out our GitHub repository to get started.

Conclusion

Fast, robust, and ready β€” pick three! Skip the boring part and focus on building your next great idea.
