Razpinator is a small, developer-focused publisher whose single public offering, Scaffo, addresses the recurring chore of bootstrapping Go projects. Written in Go itself, Scaffo reads a concise YAML manifest and emits a complete folder tree—source files, go.mod, Makefile, Dockerfile, GitHub Actions, and optional Kubernetes manifests—pre-wired with the user’s chosen router, logger, test scaffold, and CI steps. Typical use cases range from spinning up a micro-service at a hackathon to enforcing consistent layout across dozens of internal repositories inside larger engineering organizations. Because the generator is template-driven, teams can fork the stock presets and embed company-wide conventions such as linting rules, Prometheus metrics endpoints, or OpenTelemetry tracing stubs. The resulting project builds and passes tests immediately, shaving minutes from every new service and reducing “works on my machine” drift. Templates stay evergreen through built-in version pinning, while an interactive CLI lets developers mix modules (SQL vs. Mongo, Gin vs. Chi, etc.) without hand-editing half a dozen files. Although the catalog is narrow, the utility is deep: Scaffo behaves like a lightweight, language-specific alternative to heavier cookie-cutter frameworks, yet remains fast and dependency-free. Razpinator’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and permitting batch installation alongside other tools.
