Steps to create configurable product programmatically in Magento 2:

Step 1: Firstly create a configurable_product.php file in the Magento root directory and add the below-given code

<?php
use Magento\Framework\AppInterface;
try {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo 'Autoload error: ' . $e->getMessage();
    exit(1);
}
try {
    $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
    $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
    $appState = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
    $appState->setAreaCode('frontend');

    $configurableproduct = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');
    $configurableproduct->setSku("configurable_sku"); // set Your SKU
    $configurableproduct->setName("Configurable Name"); // set Your Configurable Name
    $configurableproduct->setAttributeSetId(4); // set attribute id
    $configurableproduct->setStatus(1); // status enabled/disabled 1/0
    $configurableproduct->setTypeId('configurable'); // type of product (simple/virtual/downloadable/configurable)
    $configurableproduct->setVisibility(4);  // visibility of product (Not Visible Individually (1) / Catalog (2)/ Search (3)/ Catalog, Search(4))
    $configurableproduct->setPrice(0);
    $configurableproduct->setTaxClassId(0); // Tax class ID
    $configurableproduct->setWebsiteIds(array(1)); // set website Id
    $category_id = array(2, 3);
    $configurableproduct->setCategoryIds($category_id);
    $configurableproduct->setStockData(array(
            'use_config_manage_stock' => 0,
            'manage_stock' => 1,
            'is_in_stock' => 1,
        )
    );
    $configurableattributesdata = $configurableproduct->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($configurableproduct);
    $configurableproduct->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);
    $configurableproduct->setConfigurableAttributesData($configurableattributesdata);
    $configurableproductsdata = array();
    $configurableproduct->setConfigurableProductsData($configurableproductsdata);
    try {
        $configurableproduct->save();
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($ex->getMessage());
        exit(1);
    }
    $product_id = $configurableproduct->getId();
    $associatedproductids = array(1,9);
    try {
        $configurableproduct_load = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($product_id);
        $configurableproduct_load->setAssociatedProductIds($associatedproductids);
        $configurableproduct_load->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);
        $configurableproduct_load->save();
        echo "configurable product save successfully";
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo "<pre>";
        print_r($e->getMessage());
        exit(1);
    }
}catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($e->getMessage());
    exit(1);
}

<?php

use Magento\Framework\AppInterface;

try {

require_once __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';

} catch (\Exception $e) {

echo 'Autoload error: ' . $e->getMessage();

exit(1);

}

try {

$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

$appState = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');

$appState->setAreaCode('frontend');

$configurableproduct = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');

$configurableproduct->setSku("configurable_sku"); // set Your SKU

$configurableproduct->setName("Configurable Name"); // set Your Configurable Name

$configurableproduct->setAttributeSetId(4); // set attribute id

$configurableproduct->setStatus(1); // status enabled/disabled 1/0

$configurableproduct->setTypeId('configurable'); // type of product (simple/virtual/downloadable/configurable)

$configurableproduct->setVisibility(4); // visibility of product (Not Visible Individually (1) / Catalog (2)/ Search (3)/ Catalog, Search(4))

$configurableproduct->setPrice(0);

$configurableproduct->setTaxClassId(0); // Tax class ID

$configurableproduct->setWebsiteIds(array(1)); // set website Id

$category_id = array(2, 3);

$configurableproduct->setCategoryIds($category_id);

$configurableproduct->setStockData(array(

'use_config_manage_stock' => 0,

'manage_stock' => 1,

'is_in_stock' => 1,

)

);

$configurableattributesdata = $configurableproduct->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($configurableproduct);

$configurableproduct->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);

$configurableproduct->setConfigurableAttributesData($configurableattributesdata);

$configurableproductsdata = array();

$configurableproduct->setConfigurableProductsData($configurableproductsdata);

try {

$configurableproduct->save();

} catch (Exception $ex) {

echo '<pre>';

print_r($ex->getMessage());

exit(1);

}

$product_id = $configurableproduct->getId();

$associatedproductids = array(1,9);

try {

$configurableproduct_load = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($product_id);

$configurableproduct_load->setAssociatedProductIds($associatedproductids);

$configurableproduct_load->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);

$configurableproduct_load->save();

echo "configurable product save successfully";

} catch (Exception $e) {

echo "<pre>";

print_r($e->getMessage());

exit(1);

}

}catch (Exception $e) {

echo "<pre>";

print_r($e->getMessage());

exit(1);

}

Step 2: After the above step you will need to run the below-given URL to create a configurable product.

https://yourdomain.com/configurable_product.php

  You need to do the customization of the above code, Instead of static data value for the product,
  Read data from your CSV file one by one and create a product.
