What is Bedrock CLI and how do I use it?

It's an npx-run AI tool: npx @isonnymichael/bedrock init 'your project description.' Generates folders/files dynamically. No install needed.

Will Bedrock replace tools like Create React App?

Not fully—it's dynamic scaffolding, not full boilerplate. Great complement, killer if prompts evolve.

Is Bedrock CLI free and open source?

CLI via npx, early stage. Check repo for license; feedback welcome per creator.
