Versions:
Scaffo is a lightweight command-line scaffolding utility published by razpinator that streamlines the creation of new Go projects by generating boilerplate code, folder structures, and configuration files from user-defined templates. Designed for developers who frequently start microservices, CLIs, or library packages, the tool replaces repetitive manual setup with a single repeatable command, ensuring consistent project layout, embedded licensing, dependency initialization, and CI skeletons across teams. Its template engine supports variable substitution, conditional inclusion, and nested directories, so organizations can codify their own standards—such as layered clean-architecture folders or Kubernetes manifests—and share them through ordinary Git repositories. Version 0.0.5, the first public release, exposes a minimal CLI accepting a target path and a template reference, after which it clones or reuses the template, executes placeholders, and runs go mod tidy to leave a compilable codebase. Because the generated output is plain Go, users retain full control to extend or delete any part without vendor lock-in, making Scaffo suitable for green-field experiments, client prototypes, workshop exercises, and corporate scaffolding pipelines alike. The open-source project is written in Go itself, distributed as a self-contained static binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and integrates seamlessly with existing toolchains via go install or direct download. Scaffo is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
