Why This Exists

Starting a new project often requires repeating the same setup:

• creating folders
• creating files
• writing package declarations
• creating project structure

This tool automates that setup so development can start faster.

Debugging

Currently the tool outputs submitted command arguments after project creation for troubleshooting.

Example:

[dev new go inventory cli]
