UV Forge — A Flet desktop app for scaffolding Python projects with uv

[oktl]

UV Forge is a GUI tool - built entirely with Flet - that scaffolds ready-to-go Python projects powered by uv. Instead of just empty files, it generates actual starter code so you can hit the ground running.

Why use it?

Smart Templates: Supports 10 UI frameworks (Flet, PyQt6, Tkinter, etc.) and 21 project types (FastAPI, Django, CLI, etc.).

Intelligent Merging: It combines your framework + project type into a functional starting point.

Safety Checks: Integrated PyPI name availability check before you commit to a project name.

Full Automation: Handles Git init, virtual envs, and can optionally create your GitHub repo and first commit.

Workflow Perks: Save your favorite configs as presets and set custom post-build commands.

Your choice: You can now add pre-existing files to your templates and any file can be edited and saved in app with the code editor which is based on Flet's new CodeEditor control.

Reliable: 700+ tests with ~66% coverage.

Try it out

It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. (Requires Python 3.12+ and uv).

Quick Run: uvx uv-forger

Install: uv tool install uv-forger

PyPI: uv-forger (Note: PyPI name is uv-forger due to a naming conflict!)

I’m happy to answer any questions or hear suggestions for code improvements, template issues, and new templates!
