Node for shell scripting
Available on Windows, Linux, Mac
Everyone knows that node is a server environment, but it's also GREAT for desktop scripting!
you can write a node script, give it the proper bin bindings, install it globally, and that command is now installed on your system's shell.
I'll eventually cover how to make:
- simple shell commands
- shell commands that take arguments
- interactive CLIs (interactive command line interfaces)
For now though, I invite you to look at an interactive CLI that I've built and use frequently: https://www.npmjs.com/package/run-interactive
I didn't do anything so terribly clever that you can't figure out what i did.
