Deno Project Template 🦕

A clean, minimal template for Deno CLI applications with built-in testing, formatting, and compilation support.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Ready to Run: Minimal CLI application with command-line argument parsing
• 🧪 Testing Setup: Basic test structure with Deno's built-in test runner
• 📦 Compilation Ready: Easy compilation to native executables for all platforms
• 🔧 Development Tools: Pre-configured tasks for development, testing, and formatting
• 📋 Task Management: Mise.toml for easy task running and project management

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Deno: Install from deno.land
• Mise (optional): Install from mise.jdx.dev for enhanced task management

Running the Application

```bash

Basic run

deno run main.ts

With arguments
