Ship a CLI people can actually install.

A TypeScript toolkit for turning command-line ideas into tested, packaged, shareable products — without rebuilding the release pipeline every time.

The workflow

One toolchain. Four deliberate steps.

Use the whole path or import only the package your existing CLI needs.

01

Scaffold

$ npx @shipcli/create my-cli

Generate a focused TypeScript CLI with git, tests and CI already in place.

02

Build

$ shipcli build

Compile standalone binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows with Bun.

03

Package

$ shipcli homebrew

Prepare npm metadata, release notes and a Homebrew formula without glue scripts.

04

Launch

$ shipcli publish --dry-run

Validate the package, publish deliberately and generate output worth sharing.

What you get

Not a toy scaffold.

Start with a small project that already behaves like a public tool: package metadata, tests, CI, version-aware help and an optional share card are wired in from day one.
