Announcement

Hey DEV Community! πŸ‘‹

I’ve got some exciting news to share – mkarchi v0.1.6 is officially released and ready for production use! 🎊

πŸ€” Wait, What’s mkarchi?

Great question! It’s a tiny Python CLI tool that saves you tons of time when setting up projects.

The problem it solves

You ask ChatGPT:

β€œGenerate a project structure for a React app”

ChatGPT gives you a beautiful tree structure…

Then you spend 20 minutes manually creating folders and files 😫

The mkarchi way

  1. Get structure from AI
  2. Save to structure.txt
  3. Run:
mkarchi apply structure.txt

Done! ✨

🎁 What’s New in v0.1.6

✨ The give Command (GAME CHANGER!)

Now mkarchi works both ways:

# From AI β†’ Real Project
mkarchi apply structure.txt

NEW in v0.1.6

mkarchi give                   # Real Project β†’ Shareable Format
mkarchi give -c                # Export structure only
mkarchi give myproject.txt     # Custom filename

πŸ› Bulletproof Indentation

Fixed all nesting issues. Complex structures now work perfectly:

myapp/
β”œβ”€ src/
β”‚  β”œβ”€ components/
β”‚  β”‚  β”œβ”€ Header.jsx
β”‚  β”‚  └─ Footer.jsx
β”‚  └─ App.jsx
└─ package.json

Every file ends up exactly where it should! βœ…

🎯 Production Ready

This version is:

  • βœ… Thoroughly tested
  • βœ… Stable and reliable
  • βœ… Ready for real projects
  • βœ… Used by developers worldwide

πŸš€ Try It Right Now!

Install

pip install mkarchi

Test the new give command

cd your-favorite-project
mkarchi give
cat structure.txt

🀯 Your entire project as mkarchi format!

Create a new project

# Ask your favorite AI for a structure and save it as structure.txt
mkarchi apply structure.txt

Watch the magic happen! ✨
