shadcnify

Shadcnify CLI

A command-line interface for publishing components to Shadcnify registries. Select files from your project and publish them as a registry that can be installed with shadcn/ui.

Installation

For End Users

# Install globally
npm install -g shadcnify

# Or use npx (no installation needed)
npx shadcnify

The CLI automatically downloads the correct binary for your platform (macOS, Linux, or Windows).

For Development

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/martinsione/shadcnify.com
cd shadcnify.com/apps/cli

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run in dev mode
bun run dev

How It Works

• The CLI scans your current directory for files (respecting .gitignore)
• Use arrow keys to navigate, spacebar to select files
• Type to search/filter files with fuzzy matching
• Press Enter to publish selected files
• Get your registry URL and installation command

Building

To build the standalone executable for your current platform:

bun run build

This creates a single binary at dist/shadcnify (~66MB) that includes the entire Bun runtime and all dependencies.

Note: Due to OpenTUI's native dependencies, you can only build for your current platform. Cross-compilation is not supported.
