blitz -p <project> -l <level>
  • -p, --project: Specifies the type of project to set up. Currently, the supported type is web and data.
  • -l, --level: Specifies the level of experience, e.g., beginner or advanced the supported type is beginner.

Flags

- `-p, --name`: Specifies project name.
- `-f, --frontend`: Defines the type of project (e.g., `react`, `vue`, ,`angular`).  
- `-b, --backend`: Defines the type of project (e.g., `django`, `flask`, ,`fastapi`,`express`,`spring`,).  

When executed, the CLI will:
- Display an ASCII art banner ("BlitzKit").
- Show a usage message inside a styled box.
- Create a structured folder in your current directory (insist on changing the project name)


## Troubleshooting

- **System Requirements**
  Before generating a project, make sure your system meets the necessary requirements for both the project setup tool and the specific technologies involved.

- **Figlet or Boxen Not Displaying Correctly:**  
  Ensure your terminal supports the required Unicode characters and colors.

- **Permission Issues on Windows:**  
  If you encounter permission issues, run your terminal as an Administrator or adjust your system's PATH variable after running `npm link`.

- **Project Creation Errors:**  
  Make sure you’re providing the correct arguments. For example, use `-p web -l beginner -f react -b express` to set up a React-Express project.
