<p>Hey Product Hunt fam! π</p>
I'm Luqmaam (or Lathithaa on X @Lathithaa_Mdayi), solo indie maker from Cape Town, South Africa πΏπ¦, building under Last Dices Pty Ltd.
I got fed up wasting hours (sometimes days) on the same repetitive setup every new project: copying .gitignore, writing READMEs from scratch, debugging Dockerfiles, setting up CI/CD workflows, adding licenses/.env examples... you know the drill.
So I built Repo Forge a dead-simple tool that generates clean, production-ready GitHub repositories in under 2 minutes.
Pick your stack β toggle options (CI/CD, Docker, linting, etc.) β get a structured repo with:
Best-practice folder layout
Tailored .gitignore + .env.example
Professional README template
GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow
Dockerfile + docker-compose (where it makes sense)
MIT license ready to go
Current stacks (free to generate ZIPs):
React + Vite + Tailwind + TS
Next.js App Router full-stack
Node/Express API
FastAPI backend
React Native mobile
AI/ML starters
Microservices + Docker
Static sites
Free tier: 3 repos/month, no card needed. Pro (coming bigger on Feb 21): unlimited, direct GitHub push, analytics, more stacks.

This is a quiet early launch to gather real feedback before the full push.
What annoys you most about project setup? What stack/feature would make this 10Γ more useful for you? (Laravel? Go? Flutter? SvelteKit? Advanced testing?) Tried it yet? Drop your thoughts, bugs, wins, or roast it honestly π

Thanks for hunting & helping a Cape Town dev ship faster! π
