Go Bootstrapper

Go Bootstrapper is a CLI tool that scaffolds production-ready Golang projects — no dependency headaches, no manual setup.
Just run a command and get a fully configured project with linters, routers, and structure ready to code.

Installation

Install globally using go install:

go install github.com/upsaurav12/bootstrap@latest

Once installed, confirm the installation:

bootstrap --help

Quick Start 💨

Create a REST API project using Gin:

Create a project with PostgreSQL integration:

bootstrap new myapp --type=rest --router=gin --db=postgres

Why Go Bootstrapper?

Developers often waste time repeating setup tasks — creating folders, configuring routers, writing Makefiles, adding linters, etc.

Go Bootstrapper automates all that.
You focus on business logic — it handles the rest.

It’s like:

create-react-app, but for Golang �

Roadmap

• Add --with-auth flag for JWT + middleware setup
• add command to make CLI tool more extensible to generate service, handlers, controllers.
• Commands like build, test, dev, fmt to make it more developer friendly, ensuring production ready code.
• init that will be used for letting users to choose their configurations via TUI.
