About

ko is a (WIP) project scaffolding and configuration tool that is meant to easily create or clone projects like Nuxt.js, Next.js, and Sapper.

This project is heavily inspired¹ by Blitz. Blitz is a Ruby on Rails like project based on Next.js. Blitz also allows you to configure the project by using their CLI. However, rather than building a web framework, this project focuses on the configuration portion of their CLI and aims to target different frameworks.

At the time of this writng, ko can generate a basic Next.js app and clone repositories from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

¹ Before knowing about Blitz, I had created a Nuxt.js configurator that took a simiar approach.

Features

• Generate Next.js projects
• ⚠️ Experimental Configure the project via Recipes

Roadmap

• Support other frameworks like Nuxt.js and Sapper
• Support for Docker (?)
• Add run command (e.g. installing a list of recipes from ko.config.json)
