Let’s create a Node CLI for generating files from templates!
Another very useful and user-friendly command for CLI is the --help command. This command should help our users to use our CLI. This is the perfect place for tables. I installed the cli-table package.

GitHub - larswaechter/voici.js: A Node.js library for pretty printing your data on the terminal
Last time I was working on a similar cli-based project, I used columnify for tabular output - small, super configurable, handle unicode strings and more. You have in yours that handy highlight tools (which I need to, um, highlight), but similar things could be achieved with columnify's transform functions - and in the end it's 20 times lighter than voici.
