This is a command-line tool to bootstrap a new JavaScript or TypeScript project. It sets up an NPM project with ESLint, Prettier, and now with the optional integration of Tailwind CSS. For TypeScript projects, it also installs TypeScript along with the required dev dependencies. Optionally, it can also initialize a Git repository and create a .gitignore file.

To install this tool globally, navigate to the directory containing the package.json and run:

npm install -g .

After this, you should be able to run the create-project command from anywhere on your system.

To create a new project, simply run:

create-project

This will prompt you for the following information:

• Project name (default: my_project)
• Project type (JavaScript or TypeScript; default: JavaScript)
• Whether to initialize a Git repository (default: true)
• Whether to include Tailwind CSS in the project (default: false)

The tool will then create a new directory with the provided project name, set up an NPM project, and configure ESLint and Prettier. If you chose a TypeScript project, it will also install TypeScript and create a tsconfig.json file. If you opted to initialize a Git repository, it will do so, commit the project setup, create a dev branch, and write a .gitignore file. If you chose to include Tailwind CSS, it will be installed and configured accordingly.

• Creates a new directory for your project.
• Sets up an NPM project with pre-configured scripts for linting, formatting, and optionally for building Tailwind CSS.
• Installs ESLint, Prettier, and optionally Tailwind CSS, and creates their configuration files.
• If TypeScript is chosen, installs TypeScript and necessary dev dependencies, and creates a tsconfig.json file and a src directory.
• Optionally initializes a Git repository, commits the initial project setup, creates a dev branch, and writes a .gitignore file.
• Outputs color-coded command output and error messages for better visibility.

• Node.js and npm
• The chalk package for color-coded console output.
• The inquirer package for interactive command line prompts.
