sinit

sinit - command line shiny Spring Boot project initialzer 🚀

Highlights

• generates new project from https://start.spring.io
• adds option to create a new Git repository and push to Github
• adds option to open project in Intellij IDA or Gitpod

Installation

At this stage only Homebrew packages are available:

$ brew tap maciejwalkowiak/sinit
$ brew install sinit

Interested in making package for other operating systems? Go ahead 🙂

Once the package is installed, just run sinit in your terminal.

How does it work?

Check sinit.sh file in the repository - I think it is quite straightforward.

The basic idea is - it uses what's offered in https://start.spring.io - so if new Spring Boot version is released, there is no need to upgrade the sinit package.

It uses Github CLI to create the repository, and gum for fancy UI.

To open Intellij IDEA or browser with Gitpod it calls open command which AFAIK is available only on MacOS - it may not be trivial to use it on Linux 🤷‍♂️.
