Lean directory structure with base directories such as components, lib, routes, and types
MIT licensed, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution
Template Details
This is a minimal starter template for SvelteKit projects, maintained by rajput-hemant and licensed under MIT. The template builds on SvelteKit by adding TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, and pre-configures ESLint, Prettier, Husky, lint-staged, and commitlint to standardize code linting, formatting, and commit message conventions. The default package manager is bun, with instructions for switching to pnpm, npm, or yarn.
The directory structure is kept lean: public holds the favicon; src contains components (tailwind-indicator.svelte), lib (utils.ts), routes (+layout.svelte and +page.svelte), types (reset.d.ts), as well as app.css, app.d.ts, and app.html; the root includes configuration files such as svelte.config.js, tailwind.config.js, tsconfig.json, vite.config.ts, postcss.config.js, and renovate.json.
Usage involves pulling the template from the repository into a local project directory via degit, then installing dependencies. The README documents scripts for dev, build, start, preview, lint, check, check:watch, fmt:check, fmt:write, and prepare, and lists items to update after installation: package.json, README.md, and LICENSE. The template itself contains no business pages or backend services; it serves as a project scaffolding starting point.
Is it right for your project?
Use Cases
- As an initial scaffold when starting a new SvelteKit project
- Starting frontend projects that need a combination of TypeScript and Tailwind CSS
- Teams wanting to standardize code linting, formatting, and Git commit message conventions
- SvelteKit development workflows using bun or a switchable package manager
Suitable For
- Developers familiar with SvelteKit who want to start new projects quickly
- Frontend projects needing preset TypeScript and Tailwind CSS configurations
- Teams wanting built-in ESLint, Prettier, and commit hooks
- Users who accept copying the template via degit rather than generating a project with a CLI
Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Install degit globally first, then run degit rajput-hemant/sveltekit-template <project-name> to pull the template
- 2
Dependencies are installed with bun by default; to use pnpm, npm, or yarn, delete bun.lockb first and then generate the corresponding lockfile
- 3
After installation, update project information in package.json, README.md, and LICENSE according to the README checklist
- 4
Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification; the MIT license covers only the code itself
License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope is the code of this version and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version's code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- The template uses bun as the default package manager; to switch to pnpm, npm, or yarn, delete the bun.lockb file first, then run the corresponding command to generate a lockfile.
- Before using the template, install the degit tool globally, then pull the repository contents into a local project directory via the degit command.
- After installation, update the name and year in LICENSE, as well as project information in package.json and README.md, according to the checklist.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the MIT license for the code alone is not sufficient.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Svelte as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
