Solving development pain points

We understand how frustrating manual setups and configuration challenges can be. That’s why Magnolia CLI v5 was built - to reduce setup time, eliminate repetitive tasks, and simplify project management.

This new CLI is more than just a command-line tool. It’s a versatile assistant that adapts to your specific development needs. Here’s what makes it stand out:

Modular architecture: Add or extend functionality with ease, thanks to its plugin-based design.
Multi-project support: Seamlessly handles both Freemarker-based and headless projects.
Flexibility: Provides the ability to create your own plugins to fit your unique requirements.

A unified solution for Freemarker and headless projects

Magnolia CLI v5 brings together the best parts of our previous tools into one unified interface. It supports both Freemarker and headless projects, combining the strengths of our existing solutions to give you greater flexibility and control. CLI v5 adapts to your needs with powerful features and enhanced customization options.

Jumpstarting a project based on your needs has never been easier. Use this simple command to kickstart your next project in no time:

`npx @magnolia/cli jumpstart`

With just one command, you get a fully configured project in the framework of your choice. But that’s just the beginning! Magnolia CLI v5 also empowers you to:

Create custom templates: Generate page templates, component templates, and other light development definitions.
Automate code generation: Build boilerplate code, reducing manual coding efforts and minimizing errors.
