Original Summary

I built BScaff, a CLI tool for saving and reusing project structures, templates, files, and text snippets. It can serve as a URL bookmark tool as well.<p>It started with project scaffolding, but I wanted something more general-purpose: a tool that could save almost any reusable starting point and bring it back whenever needed. For each language, I had a specific way of structuring projects that I have refined over years, but I could not find any tool which can quickly help to generate such scaffolding quickly. Copier and Cookiecutter exists but they depend on templates, and I didn&#x27;t want to create templates for such tasks. One more use-case I had was when I used AI chatbots who suggest some project structure, and I want to quickly create that. So I wanted something offline which can quickly help me save and recreate file trees. Then I added snippets to it too, but I mostly use it for notes taking personally.<p>Some things you can do with it:<p> Save Git repository templates locally and use them offline whenever you need to create a new project<p> Create reusable templates from existing directories<p> Save and recreate directory structures by copying ASCII file trees and the tool will read it from clipboard and recreate it (or save it for later)<p> Save collections of files and generate them again in another directory<p>* Save text snippets and either copy them to the clipboard or generate files from them<p>The idea is to avoid repeatedly recreating the same boilerplate, directory structures, configuration files, etc. And you can use it as a note-taking app as well with snippets. It has templates support as well with Jinja-based variable replacement. Template updates are supported, but project updates are not yet implemented, have planned it for future.<p>It is written in TypeScript, runs on Node.js, and is available on npm.<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;akashnag&#x2F;bscaff" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;akashnag&#x2F;bscaff</a><p>Install: npm install -g @akashnag&#x2F;bscaff<p>Feedback, feature suggestions ( I already have a big backlog though :P ), and contributions are welcome!
