@mintel/cli

The Mintel CLI is the primary automation tool for managing the monorepo and ensuring all client websites follow the same high-quality standards and infrastructure patterns.

🚀 Installation

Using npx (Recommended)

Run the CLI without installing it globally. This always uses the latest version from the registry:

npx @mintel/cli init apps/my-new-website.com

Global Installation

Install the CLI globally from the Mintel registry:

npm install -g @mintel/cli

Development (Local Link)

If you are contributing to the CLI, you can link it locally:

cd packages/cli
pnpm build
npm link

🛠 Commands

init <path>

Scaffolds a new, production-ready client website in the specified path.

mintel init apps/my-new-website.com

What it does:

1. Project Structure: Creates a modern Next.js directory layout.
2. Shared Configs: Generates package.json, tsconfig.json, and eslint.config.mjs that extend the @mintel shared packages.
3. Localization: Sets up a localized routing structure (src/app/[locale]) with next-intl pre-configured.
4. Error Tracking: Injects Sentry/GlitchTip instrumentation.
5. Environment Safety: Adds a validation script (scripts/validate-env.ts) to catch missing secrets at build time.
6. Infrastructure: Injects the universal Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and the tag-based Gitea Actions deployment workflow.

🛠 Development

To add new features to the scaffold (e.g., new shared files or config templates), modify packages/cli/src/index.ts.
