Announcing Backpack 0.4 ​

For full details, please refer to our changelog.

New: Backpack CLI ​

Backpack now has its own command line interface! 🚀 With the newly added Backpack CLI, you can now generate new Backpack-projects easily.

While the current project generator only has a limited amount of options, the plan is to extend this over time. Besides that, there is even room to add commands for existing projects.
