Requires a couple of build tools installed globally plus the companion 'new' CLI tool.
This repository contains starter templates for quickly setting up new JavaScript projects. Think of it like cookie-cutter templates that let you skip the boring setup work and jump straight into coding. When you run a command like new sketch, it creates a pre-configured project folder with all the build tools and file structure already in place. The project works with a separate tool called "new" that reads these templates and generates new projects from them. So instead of manually creating folders, installing dependencies, and configuring build tools yourself, you just pick a template and the tool does the heavy lifting. The two templates included here are called "Sketch" and "App," and they're both JavaScript projects that use a bundler called Browserify to package your code for the browser. The Sketch template is the simpler option, it gives you a basic JavaScript setup with a separate stylesheet file and expects you to have a couple of build tools installed globally on your computer. The App template is more structured and feature-complete: it lets you organize your project into separate components (reusable pieces), where each component can bundle together its own JavaScript, styling, and HTML templates. Everything gets bundled into a single file that runs in the browser. This project would appeal to developers who frequently start new projects and want to avoid repeating the same setup steps over and over. Instead of configuring Browserify, build scripts, and file structure each time, they can use these pre-made templates as a starting point. It's a personal project (as the README notes), so it's tailored to the author's own workflow and preferences, but it shows a clean pattern for how to standardize and speed up project creation.
