Stackctl – Java Project Initializr TUI CLI 🚀
Stackctl is a fast, interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) CLI for managing the entire lifecycle of Java-based projects.
It goes beyond project generation by offering a stack of developer utilities — project initialization, testing, scripts, and automation — all from a clean, keyboard-first terminal experience.
Powered by Go, Bubble Tea, and official framework APIs.
No browser. No boilerplate. Just ship. ⚡
