StartMyDev

StartMyDev is a PowerShell-based automation setup to streamline running applications like frontend, backend, or full-stack across multiple environments — including local, dev, stage, and production.

🚀 Features

• Automates starting backend servers and frontend frameworks.
• Supports multiple terminal setups (VS Code, Windows Terminal).
• Simple .ps1 scripts tailored for different Windows PowerShell environments.
• Lightweight, no external dependencies.
• Structured folder setup for PowerShell 7 (windows-ps7) and PowerShell 5 (windows-ps5).

⚠️ Editor Launch Issues

Modern editors (like VS Code or Windows Terminal) sometimes:

• Fail to inherit shell environment variables correctly when launched via scripts.
• Open in incorrect directories unless paths are explicitly passed.
• Require administrator privileges for specific PowerShell commands.

These issues are actively being addressed and workarounds are being tested in the PowerShell 5 branch.

📌 Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/otaku0304/StartMyDev.git

2. Navigate to the appropriate folder (e.g., windows-ps7/NgBootStart).

3. Customize the setup by editing the Retailers.ps1 file according to your environment and project needs (e.g., choose whether to run frontend, backend, or full-stack; set environment type like local, dev, stage, or prod).

4. Run the launch.bat by double clicking
