Stackctl is a fast, interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) CLI for creating Java application projects from framework starters.
Select your framework, choose dependencies and project options, and generate a ready to run project directly from your terminal.
Built for a keyboard first workflow, Stackctl removes the need to open a browser just to bootstrap a new application.
Powered by Go, Bubble Tea, and official framework APIs.
No browser. No boilerplate. Just ship. ⚡
