How I Setup Next.js Repository for High-Velocity Projects

Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes it easy to build server-side rendered (SSR) and statically generated websites. Whether you’re building a blog, an e-commerce site, or a portfolio, Next.js has you covered. In this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to setup Next.js repository from scratch. I don't want to waste your time by making you read this post, as I believe it will be a valuable addition to your development toolkit.

Stack Overview

• Text Editor: VSCode
• Framework: Next.js (App Router)
• Package manager: pnpm
• Language: TypeScript
• Quality control: Husky + Lint-Staged (Automation Prettier and ESLint)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• Runtime Control: Node.js version enforcement

Each tool has a clear responsibility. Nothing overlaps unnecessarily.

Start

Let’s begin by installing a fresh and latest Next.js project named my-project. Open the terminal and navigate where you’d like to store this project. Then run the following command:

npx create-next-app@latest --typescript my-project
