Why StackForge?

Overview

Every new project requires scaffolding from scratch — choosing frameworks, configuring ESLint, setting up CI/CD, writing Dockerfiles, managing environment variables... This repetitive work consumes valuable development time.

StackForge CLI encapsulates these best practices into composable templates, generating production-grade project skeletons with a single command. Supporting Vue + PHP/Python tech stacks, it auto-generates frontend project structure, backend API templates, Docker configuration, and CI/CD pipelines.

With 20+ built-in project templates covering Vue + Flask, Vue + Spring Boot, Vue + PHP Laravel and other mainstream development scenarios. The core engine is written in Python with a YAML-based template system for flexibility and extensibility.
