CLI Tools for All the Things
summary
Shows how to make small, practical CLIs by wiring shell plus Node: uses npm-installed modules like offensive-words from bash via node -e, exposes local bins via package.json bin, and uses package.json scripts to run project commands. Demonstrates composing with find, grep, xargs, sed and > redirects, and adds interactivity with the fuzzy picker ipt. Builds a version-picker that fetches npm metadata and the project ntl (No Task List) to list and run scripts — demos mostly work with one flaky live step.
