About:
Gerust is a command-line tool that scaffolds new Rust backend projects with a pre-configured, production-ready architecture. It eliminates boilerplate by setting up common crates, database connections, and project structure. This allows developers to focus immediately on business logic rather than project configuration.

Key Features:

Scaffolds a modular monolith architecture
Pre-configures database access and migrations
Sets up authentication and user management
Includes Docker configuration for development

Use Cases:

Starting a new Rust web service or API backend
Establishing a standardized project structure for a team
Prototyping backend ideas without manual setup

Alternatives:

cargo-generate – Gerust is opinionated for web backends, while cargo-generate is a generic template tool.
axum-template – Provides starter code snippets rather than a full project generator with CI and Docker setup.
