New project.... Delete the same files.
Again. And again. And again. 😤So I automated it.
npx stackclean

The Problem I was Facing...

Every time I start a new React or Next.js project, I do the same thing.

Delete next.svg. Delete vercel.svg. Empty globals.css.
Remove the default logo. Clean up App.jsx.

Every. Single. Time.

It takes 5 minutes but it's annoying. So I built a tool to do it automatically.

Introducing stackclean

stackclean is a simple CLI tool that removes all default boilerplate
files from your React or Next.js project in one command.

`bash
npx stackclean

That's it One Command done.

What it removes

Next.js (App Router)

Deletes: next.svg, vercel.svg, file.svg, globe.svg, window.svg, favicon.ico, icon.svg
Cleans: page.tsx, layout.tsx, globals.css

Next.js (Pages Router)

Deletes: next.svg, vercel.svg, favicon.ico, Home.module.css, api/hello.js
Cleans: index.tsx, globals.css

Vite + React

Deletes: react.svg, vite.svg, favicon.ico, all SVGs in src/assets
Cleans: App.jsx, App.css, index.css, main.jsx

Create React App

Deletes: logo.svg, favicon.ico, logo192.png, logo512.png, manifest.json, robots.txt, reportWebVitals.js, App.test.js
Cleans: App.js, App.css, index.css, index.js

Auto Detection

You don't need to tell it which framework you're using.
stackclean reads your package.json and figures it out automatically.

Works with JavaScript and TypeScript both.

How to use

Run inside your project folder:
npx stackclean
Or pass a path:
npx stackclean ./my-project

Links

npm: view stackclean
GitHub: view Github Respository

If this saves you even 5 minutes .... it did its job.
Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments!`
