I made my first CLI which generates an HTML/CSS boilerplate! 🎉

Hey IH community! 👋

Today I've been working hard on publishing a new NPM package.

Check it out! 👉 https://github.com/BraydenTW/create-html-boilerplate

Create HTML Boilerplate generates a vanilla HTML/CSS boilerplate for you in a flash! ⚡

To start a project, simply type in the following command into your terminal:

npx create-html-boilerplate myapp

Tada! ✨

Now you can code away!

But, why?

You might be asking, why would I want a boilerplate generator for a plain, vanilla project?

Well, as I started web development as a beginner a few years ago, making the folder structure and file imports were always time consuming for me. I already knew how to do it, why waste my time setting it up?

My brother has had this same issue and that's when the idea popped into my head. 🎉

I'm open to any feedback you have for my project. I'm planning on adding more config options, imports, and templates too. 😉

If you find this tool useful, I would appreciate a ⭐ on this repo.

I like this idea. I've tried a couple of things to solve this problem locally as well.

Here are some ideas:
- Make the CSS folder/file optional.
- Add an option to create a JS folder/file (the instructions show a JS folder/file in the sample folder structure, but it didn't get created when I ran it).
- Add an option to create a README dot md (I spelled out the dot because IH turned it into a link for some reason).

  Hey @jhonkaman!
  
  Thanks for leaving some kind words and feedback here. I have been working on adding parameters/options to the CLI to make it more customizable.
