Although I have many cheatsheets covering specifics of some of the below stacks (E.g. TypeScript), I wanted a single cheatsheet that covers quick init methods that you might need when setting up a project. This is that cheatsheet.

Scaffolding in General

• Ultimate project scaffolder: Yeoman (aka yo)
• Scratchpad-Playgrounds - Collection of prebuilt workspaces and online sandboxes so you can quickly try out different languages and frameworks!
• anyfiddle/starter-template-images - Collection of Docker images for various programming languages and frameworks
• Elevator Pitches -> Online Sandboxes - Sites where you can play around with code, and often quickly initialize a "playground" from a template.

Web Stack

• package.json / dependencies

  • to create package.json (use -y for no questions)

    • Yarn: yarn init -y
    • NPM: npm init -y

• TypeScript

  • To create config and init: npx tsc --init
  • Also see tsconfig/bases for common starter configs

• Prettiers / formatters

  • TSLint: tslint --init

    • (remember, eslint is now recommended over tslint)
  • ESLint: npx eslint --init

  • Prettier

    • There is no built-in tool - see config file docs
    • You can use prettier-init module: npx prettier-init

  • XO

    • npm init xo

Version Control

• Git: git init

IDEs

• VSCode

  • mkdir .vscode

  • Local settings

    • touch .vscode/settings.json

  • Debug / commands / etc

    • touch .vscode/launch.json
