## What it is
create-t3-app is an interactive CLI scaffolding tool that generates a full-stack, typesafe Next.js application using the T3 Stack. It lets developers pick modular pieces - tRPC, Prisma or Drizzle, NextAuth.js, and Tailwind CSS - and bootstraps a configured project with best practices baked in.

## Use cases
- scaffold a typesafe full-stack Next.js app
- set up a T3 Stack project with tRPC and Prisma
- bootstrap a Next.js app with authentication and Tailwind CSS
- generate a Next.js project with Drizzle ORM from the command line
- quickly start a full-stack TypeScript web app
- create a Next.js app with end-to-end typesafety

## When to choose
- you want an opinionated, modular, typesafe Next.js starter with tRPC, Prisma/Drizzle, NextAuth, and Tailwind preconfigured
- you're starting a new full-stack TypeScript project and want best practices set up in minutes
- you want to pick only the stack pieces you need instead of an all-inclusive template

## When to avoid
- you need a non-Next.js framework like Remix, SvelteKit, or Nuxt
- you want a framework that stays updatable after scaffolding - this is a one-time generator, not a maintained framework
- you prefer minimal, unopinionated setups or want to hand-configure every tool yourself
