Development Environment Architect (aka devArch)

Setting up a new project is tedious. Same folders, same files, same git init — every single time. devArch fixes that.

What it does

Pick your stack, set your options, hit create. That's it. Your project is scaffolded, dependencies installed, git initialized, and if you want — pushed to GitHub. All from inside VS Code.

Supported stacks

Type	What you get
React + Vite	Full Vite scaffold, optional Tailwind, JS or TS
Fullstack	React frontend + Node backend in one repo
Node.js Backend	Express + MongoDB structure, optional boilerplate
Python	src/, tests/, main.py, requirements.txt
Web	HTML, CSS, JS with proper boilerplate

Options

Tailwind CSS — added and configured automatically (React and Fullstack only)
Full Boilerplate — working Express + MongoDB code, not just empty files (Node and Fullstack)
Git — initialized with a proper .gitignore for your stack
GitHub — repo created and pushed, no CLI needed

GitHub integration

No need to install the GitHub CLI. devArch uses the GitHub API directly. First time you check "Create GitHub Repo", it walks you through getting a Personal Access Token — one time setup, stored securely in your OS keychain, never touched again.

Requirements

VS Code
Node.js + npm (for React, Node, Fullstack projects)
Git (for git and GitHub features)

Install

Search "devArch" in the VS Code extension marketplace and install.

What's coming

This is just the start. The plan is to keep expanding devArch to cover more stacks and workflows — Django, Go, Docker setup, and more. If there's something you want supported, open an issue.
