Dev Toolkit (Windows PowerShell)

A small collection of PowerShell scripts I use to bootstrap clean, repeatable development projects on Windows.

This repo is intentionally practical:

• Scripts are designed for day-to-day use, not just demos
• Defaults favor reproducibility (project-local envs, consistent structure, safe .gitignore)
• Commands are written to be understandable and modifiable

---

What this solves

When starting a new project, it is easy to lose time to:

• inconsistent folder structures
• missing virtual environments / mis-selected interpreters
• forgetting .gitignore basics
• redoing boilerplate across projects

These scripts make “new project setup” predictable and fast.

---

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:khoio-boio/dev-toolkit.git
cd dev-toolkit

2. (Optional but recommended) Create a local .env file:

copy .env.example .env

Edit .env to match your system paths.

3. Ensure scripts directory is on your PATH or use via PowerShell profile.

Scripts

newpy.ps1 — Python project bootstrap

Creates a Python project with:

• standard structure (src/, requirements.txt)
• project-local venv (.venv/)
• VS Code workspace settings to pin the interpreter and auto-activate the venv
• Git initialization + safe .gitignore
• opens the folder in VS Code

Example:

newpy myproject 

Result:

myproject/
  .venv/
  .vscode/
    settings.json
  src/
    main.py
  requirements.txt
  .gitignore

newjava.ps1 — Java (Maven) project bootstrap

Creates a Java project with:

• Maven project structure
• Configurable Java version (default: 17)
• JUnit 5 test scaffolding
• Safe .gitignore
• Optional .env-based path configuration
• Opens the project in VS Code

Examples:

newjava myapp
newjava myapp -j 21
