Commands

Create

npx zero-setup-biome <project-name> [options]

Options:
  -t, --template <template>  Template to use (react-ts) [default: react-ts]
  --skip-install             Skip installing dependencies
  --skip-git                 Skip git initialization
  --pm <package-manager>     Package manager (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun)
  -v, --version              Output version number
  -h, --help                 Display help

Migrate

Migrate existing projects from ESLint/Prettier to Biome:

npx zero-setup-biome migrate [options]

Options:
  --skip-install   Skip installing Biome
  --skip-cleanup   Keep ESLint/Prettier configs and dependencies
  --skip-git       Skip creating safety git commit
  --dry-run        Show changes without applying them
  -h, --help       Display help

What it does:

• ✅ Migrates ESLint rules to biome.json (uses Biome's official migration)
• ✅ Migrates Prettier config to biome.json
• ✅ Preserves your Prettier settings (quotes, semicolons, line width, etc.)
• ✅ Auto-detects Jest/Vitest and adds global variables
• ✅ Excludes generated folders (gen/, dist/, build/, etc.)
• ✅ Removes ESLint/Prettier dependencies and plugins
• ✅ Updates package.json scripts
• ✅ Optional auto-format to apply Biome formatting in one commit
• ✅ Creates a safety git commit before changes

Why Biome?

Tool	Lint Time (medium project)
ESLint + Prettier	~28s
Biome	~1.3s

Biome replaces both ESLint and Prettier with a single, blazing-fast tool written in Rust.
