A modern CLI tool for scaffolding end-to-end type-safe TypeScript projects with best practices and customizable configurations

• Roll your own stack: you pick only the parts you need, nothing extra.
• Minimal templates: bare-bones scaffolds with zero bloat.
• Latest dependencies: always use current, stable versions by default.
• Free and open source: forever.
