Blank repo and here I am again, writing the same Dockerfile I wrote last month.<br> Same GitHub Actions. Same ESLint config. Same docker-compose. Same test setup.</p> <p>I've done this so many times I could do it in my sleep. Which is exactly why I stopped doing it.</p> <p>I built <strong>ForgeKit</strong>. Run one command and your project is production-ready before you've had your first coffee.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>npm <span class="nb">install</span> <span class="nt">-g</span> forgekit-cli forgekit new my-app <span class="nt">--template</span> web-app </code></pre> </div> <p>13 files. TypeScript configured. ESLint ready. Dockerfile written. docker-compose working. GitHub Actions running on your first push. Vitest set up. Nothing left to wire.</p> <p>You write code. Not config.</p> <h2> What's included </h2> <div class="ltag-features"> <div class="ltag-feature"> <div class="ltag-feature__content"> <div class="ltag-feature__title">⚡ CI/CD from commit one</div> <div class="ltag-feature__body"> <p>GitHub Actions wired and passing before you even open a PR.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ltag-feature"> <div class="ltag-feature__content"> <div class="ltag-feature__title">📦 Docker, done</div> <div class="ltag-feature__body"> <p>Dockerfile and docker-compose ready to run locally and in prod.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ltag-feature"> <div class="ltag-feature__content"> <div class="ltag-feature__title">✅ Tests configured</div> <div class="ltag-feature__body"> <p>Vitest is set up.

ForgeKit gives you a working engineering setup. CI runs on push. Docker builds locally. Linting catches issues before they hit your PR. Security scanning runs automatically.</p> <p>The first time you <code>git push</code> on a ForgeKit project, everything just works.</p> <h2> Open source, Apache 2.0 </h2> <p>Fork it. Extend it. Add your own templates. Build on it.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/SubhanshuMG/ForgeKit" class="crayons-btn crayons-btn--primary" rel="noopener noreferrer">Star on GitHub ⭐</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/forgekit-cli" class="crayons-btn crayons-btn--primary" rel="noopener noreferrer">View on npm 📦</a> </p> <p><a href="https://forgekit.build" class="crayons-btn crayons-btn--primary" rel="noopener noreferrer">Visit forgekit.build</a> </p> <p>What stack do you want a template for next?
