Scaffold a new project with HELiX web components — TUI-powered CLI

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (create-helix) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    Secret Scanning

    This repo uses gitleaks to prevent secrets from being committed. Install it locally to enable pre-commit scanning:

    # macOS
brew install gitleaks

# Linux
GITLEAKS_VERSION="8.21.2"
curl -sSfL \
  "https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/download/v${GITLEAKS_VERSION}/gitleaks_${GITLEAKS_VERSION}_linux_x64.tar.gz" \
  | tar -xz -C ~/.local/bin gitleaks

# Windows (via scoop)
scoop install gitleaks

    If gitleaks is not installed, the pre-commit hook will warn but will not block your commit. CI always runs the full scan. Configuration is in .gitleaks.toml.
