🚀 Launchpad

Kill decision fatigue. Go from idea to code in one command.

Launchpad is a workflow automation tool designed to eliminate the tedious "setup" phase of starting a new project. It automates directory creation, environment configuration, and GitHub repository initialization so you can focus strictly on the logic.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Instant GitHub Integration: Automatically creates a private repo via GitHub CLI (gh), initializes Git, and pushes the first commit.
• 🐍 Python Automation:
  • Creates a virtual environment (venv).
  • Generates a main.py entry point.
  • Creates requirements.txt and a standard .gitignore.
• ☕ Java Automation:
  • Sets up a clean src/ directory structure.
  • Auto-generates the Main Class file (handles capitalization automatically).
  • Fetches a robust .gitignore for Java/IntelliJ/VS Code.
• 🧠 Zero Friction:
  • Auto-creates .env for secrets.
  • Opens the project immediately in VS Code (code .).
