NestJS

npx scafix create nest
npx scafix create nest --name api-core --package-manager pnpm
npx scafix create nest --no-typescript --no-strict

Notes

• The upstream Nest CLI does not scaffold with Bun directly. When you choose --package-manager bun, Scafix uses npm for the scaffold step and then installs project dependencies with Bun afterward.

Shared flow reminder

• Shared flags such as --name, --directory, --package-manager, --git, and --debug apply here as well.
• If required values are omitted and a TTY is available, Scafix prompts for them before calling the stack adapter.
• See CLI Reference for the shared command surface used by scafix.
