stack-starter

stack-starter is a CLI tool designed to simplify the setup of full-stack projects. With stack-starter, you can quickly create a new full stack project with a specified template, which includes a basic project structure. Set up your frontend, server, and database all with one command! I am working on adding set up templates for MERN, MEAN, React w/ Firebase, and more!

npm install -g stack-starter
