I'm surprised there aren't more tools out there for starting a new project with some default config files.

There's `cargo new` but it's Rust specific and very minimal. create-react-app is React specific.

The only option I know of is cookiecutter. Surely it's a common problem?

There used to be some templtes provided with CodeWarrior. And then with Xcode (both carbon and cocoa based ones).
But I have not done Mac OS programming in years.
