Ship the stack. Skip the setup.

An interactive CLI that scaffolds a Vite + React + TypeScript app — with Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui, React Compiler, icons, routing, data fetching, a linter and git — all wired and ready to run.

zsh — 80×24

Everything wired.
Nothing to figure out.

The output is a stock Vite project with the batteries already installed — you run pnpm dev and start shipping.

Interactive prompts

Eleven questions, one at a time, clearly asked before anything runs. TypeScript is non-negotiable.

Zero-config output

Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui, React Compiler — all wired through vite.config.ts the moment you say yes.

Flags for everything

Every prompt has a flag — and a single flag pins the whole run: no questions, defaults fill the gaps. Force it with --yes.

Scaffold in place

Run create-vite-reactstack . to merge into the current directory. Nothing is ever deleted.

Git-ready out of the box

Opt in to a fresh repository with an initial commit — version-controlled from second one.

Your tools, detected

npm, pnpm, yarn or bun — sniffed from how you invoked the CLI. Pin it yourself with --pm.

Ten decisions.
Every one optional.

Toggle options and pick from choices to build your stack — the command updates in real time. One flag pins the whole run, no questions asked.

Your stack

Scriptable from the first run.

Every prompt can be answered with a flag — and any option flag makes the run non-interactive: flags win, the rest fall back to defaults. --yes forces defaults for everything.

Flag	Description

`--tailwind` `--no-tailwind`	Enable or disable Tailwind CSS v4.

`--query` `--no-query`	Add or skip TanStack Query.
`--linter <name>`	Choose a linter: biome · eslint · oxlint
`--icons <name>`	Icon library: none · lucide · phosphor · heroicons
`--git` `--no-git`	Initialize or skip the git repository.
`--pm <name>`	Package manager: npm · pnpm · yarn · bun (alias `--package-manager`)
`--skip-install`	Scaffold without installing dependencies.
`-h, --help`	Show the help message.
`-v, --version`	Show the version.
