Features:
Simple Setup: Choose whether your project is a frontend or backend.
Automatic Dependency Installation: Select your preferred framework (Next.js or Vite-React for frontend) and let Repo Pilot handle the rest.
Tailored Boilerplate: Based on your choices, the extension automatically creates the appropriate file structure and installs required dependencies.
