Filakit CLI

CLI tool for scaffolding Laravel projects with Filakit starter kits. Select from available starter kits and create a new Laravel application with a single command.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.2
• Laravel Installer (composer global require laravel/installer)

Installation

Download PHAR (recommended)

Download the latest filakit.phar from the Releases page:

# Download and make executable
curl -sL https://github.com/jeffersongoncalves/filakit-cli/releases/latest/download/filakit.phar -o filakit
chmod +x filakit
sudo mv filakit /usr/local/bin/filakit

Via Composer (global)

composer global require jeffersongoncalves/filakit-cli

Usage

Interactive mode

filakit new

The CLI will prompt you for:

1. Application name - the name of your new project
2. Starter kit - select from the available kits

With arguments

filakit new my-app

Skip selection with --kit

filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5

Additional Options

All options from the Laravel installer are supported and forwarded directly:

Examples:

# Create with Git + Pest + pnpm
filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5 --git --pest --pnpm

# Create with a GitHub repo under an organization
filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5 --github=private --organization=my-org

# Force overwrite with a specific database
filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5 --database=pgsql --force

Available Starter Kits

Filament v5

Filament v4

Filament v3

How It Works

Under the hood, Filakit CLI runs laravel new with the --using flag:

laravel new my-app --using=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5

The list of available starter kits is embedded in the CLI and automatically updated via GitHub Actions when the source list changes.
