Summary of Changes

Hello @aXenDeveloper, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the create-vitnode utility by adding automated, context-aware README generation for new projects, improving the initial developer experience. Concurrently, it brings the entire project's dependency tree up to date with the latest versions, addressing potential security vulnerabilities and leveraging new features from updated libraries. The changes also include a more resilient approach to copying configuration files, contributing to a more stable project setup process.

Highlights

• README Generation: Introduced a new feature within create-vitnode to automatically generate a README.md file for newly created projects. This README is dynamically tailored based on the chosen package manager and project structure (e.g., API-only, monorepo), including adjusted local host URLs.
• Dependency Updates: Performed a comprehensive update of numerous dependencies across apps/api, apps/docs, packages/config, packages/create-vitnode-app, packages/node-cron, packages/nodemailer, packages/resend, and packages/vitnode. Key updates include drizzle-kit, hono, next-intl, react-email related packages, @types/* packages, next, @swc/core, @tanstack/react-query, and tiptap related packages, ensuring the project utilizes the latest stable versions.
• ESLint & Prettier Copying Logic Refinement: Refactored the logic for copying ESLint and Prettier configuration files in create-vitnode. The updated implementation now more robustly handles different project modes (e.g., onlyApi, singleApp, monorepo) and checks for the existence of target directories before copying, improving setup reliability.
• Next.js Version Handling Simplification: Simplified the Next.js version management within create-vitnode by consolidating nextWebInMonorepo into nextSingle, streamlining how Next.js versions are specified for new projects.

Code Review

This pull request introduces README file generation for new projects and updates a wide range of dependencies across the monorepo. The new README generation logic is a great addition. My review includes a couple of suggestions to improve the robustness and accuracy of the generated documentation. Specifically, I've pointed out a potential issue with a hardcoded instruction in the README template that may not be correct for all project types, and I've suggested a more robust way to handle dynamic content replacement in the README file to avoid future maintenance issues. The dependency updates look good.
