💡 Why use it?

Stop reinventing the wheel

Every developer has a ~/scripts folder full of one-off hacks. We've collected, tested, and standardized the best ones—so you don't have to.

Ship faster

Our templates aren't "hello world" demos. They include testing, linting, CI/CD configs, and security best practices from day one.

Code with confidence

Review checklists used by teams at scale. AI prompts refined through thousands of real-world coding sessions.

Community-driven

This isn't a personal dotfiles repo. It's a living resource maintained by developers who actually use these tools daily.

"I used to spend 2 hours setting up a new FastAPI project. Now it's 30 seconds and I'm writing actual business logic."

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Clone and explore

git clone https://github.com/ashish7802/dev-launchpad.git
cd dev-launchpad

Option 2: Use specific components

# Copy just the template you need
cp -r dev-launchpad/templates/fastapi ./my-new-api

Option 3: Symlink for regular use

# Add scripts to your PATH without copying
ln -s $(pwd)/dev-launchpad/scripts/git/* ~/.local/bin/

🛠️ How to Use

Scripts

All scripts are self-documenting. Run with --help or no arguments:

./scripts/git/git-cleanup-branches.sh --help

Pro tip: Many scripts support --dry-run to preview changes before execution.

Templates

Each template is production-ready out of the box:

• ✅ Testing framework configured
• ✅ Linting & formatting rules
• ✅ Git hooks for quality gates
• ✅ GitHub Actions CI template
• ✅ Security best practices

Prompts

Copy → Paste into ChatGPT/Claude/Copilot → Replace [BRACKETED] variables.

Checklists

Use as GitHub task lists, Notion pages, or printed runbooks.
