🧰 Springman – A Fast Go CLI to Boost Your Spring Boot Development 🚀

If you're a Java developer who builds Spring Boot applications regularly, chances are you're tired of clicking through start.spring.io or managing repetitive tasks manually.

That's where Springman comes in — a lightweight CLI tool written in Go that lets you:

✅ Generate Spring Boot projects

✅ Run them instantly with Maven or Gradle

✅ Add or remove dependencies from pom.xml

✅ Build once and use from anywhere

---

🌱 Why Springman?

As a full-stack developer, I often found myself switching between front-end and backend work, and I wanted something blazing fast, offline-capable, and super clean for bootstrapping Java projects.

So I built springman, and I open-sourced it here:

👉 GitHub – manimovassagh/Springman

🔧 Features

• springman new myapp --build maven → create a Spring Boot project
• springman run myapp → run it with Maven or Gradle (auto-detected)
• springman add myapp group:artifact[:version] → add dependency to pom.xml
• springman remove myapp group:artifact → remove it from pom.xml

All XML operations are safely parsed and formatted. You’ll never break your pom.xml again 😎
