It allows you to choose between a JavaScript or TypeScript setup and takes care of the initial boilerplate, including dependency installation and a basic project structure.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis CLI tool is intended to be used with `npx`, so there's no need for a global installation. Make sure you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed on your system.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo create a new Express.js application, run:\n\n```bash\nnpx create-express-skel\n```\n\n## Options\n\n- `\u003cproject-name\u003e`: Specify the name of the project directly.\n\n- `--ts`: Use this option if you want to create a TypeScript-based Express.js application.\n\n- `--eslint`: Use this option if you want to install and configure ESlint in your Express.js application.\n\n- `--no-eslint`: Use this option if you do not want to install and configure ESlint in your Express.js application.\n\n- `--git`: Use this option if you want to initialize a Git repository.\n\n- `--no-git`: Use this option if you do not want to initialize a Git repository.\n\nIf you do not provide a project name or options via the command line, `create-express-skel` will prompt you interactively to input these details.\n\n## Interactive Mode\n\nWhen running `create-express-skel` without any arguments, it enters an interactive mode, asking you for:\n\n**Project Name**: The name of your new Express.js application.\n**Template Type**: Whether you want your project in JavaScript or TypeScript.\n**Configure ESlint**: Quickly install and configure ESlint.\n**Initialize Git Repository**: Initialize the Git repository and initial commit.\n\n## Example\n\nCreating a new JavaScript Express.js application named 'my-app' and configure the project interactively:\n\n```bash\nnpx create-express-skel my-app\n```\n\nCreating a new TypeScript Express.js application named 'my-app' and configure the project without interaction providing the necessary options:\n\n```bash\nnpx create-express-skel my-app --ts --eslint --no-git\n```\n\n_Note_: If **ESlint** selected, its configuration runs intereactively\n\n## Features\n\n- Fast setup for new Express.js projects.\n- Option to choose between JavaScript and TypeScript.\n- Interactive mode for ease of use.\n- Deals with all the boilerplate.\n- Initializes a git repository with an initial commit.\n\n## Contributing\n\nYour contributions are always welcome!
