Features
- Easy Repository Cloning: The process begins by simply cloning the repository, ensuring that you have access to all the required files and structure.

- Customizable Environment Variables: After installation, you can easily adjust the .env file with your own values, making the application tailored to your specific needs.
- Quick Server Launch: With a simple command, you can run the server, quickly stepping into the development mode without unnecessary delays.

- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
