gitit is a template and project scaffolding tool that clones templates from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other providers. It supports offline caching, private repository authentication, post-install commands, and a plugin system for custom providers and lifecycle hooks. Available as both a CLI (gitit github:user/repo my-project) and a library (downloadTemplate()).
- Use pickier for linting — never use eslint directly
- Run
bunx --bun pickier .to lint,bunx --bun pickier . --fixto auto-fix - When fixing unused variable warnings, prefer
// eslint-disable-next-linecomments over prefixing with_
- Use stx for templating — never write vanilla JS (
var,document.*,window.*) in stx templates - Use crosswind as the default CSS framework which enables standard Tailwind-like utility classes
- stx
<script>tags should only contain stx-compatible code (signals, composables, directives)
- buddy-bot handles dependency updates — not renovatebot
- better-dx provides shared dev tooling as peer dependencies — do not install its peers (e.g.,
typescript,pickier,bun-plugin-dtsx) separately ifbetter-dxis already inpackage.json - If
better-dxis inpackage.json, ensurebunfig.tomlincludeslinker = "hoisted"
- Use conventional commit messages (e.g.,
fix:,feat:,chore:)
