DevStart CLI

Stop configuring. Start building.

A powerful CLI that scaffolds production-ready Next.js projects with your preferred tech stack in 30 seconds.

npx devstart-cli init

Quick Start • Features • Tech Stack • Examples

Why DevStart?

Before: Spend 2-4 hours configuring Next.js, Tailwind, Supabase, TanStack Query, Zustand, shadcn/ui, TypeScript, ESLint...

After: Run one command. Answer 9 questions. Start building features in 30 seconds.

DevStart generates production-ready projects with working setup files for all your integrations — not just dependencies, but configured clients, providers, and boilerplate.

Quick Start

npx devstart-cli init

That's it. No global installation needed.

Or install globally:

npm install -g devstart-cli
devstart init
