git-js VS Inquirer.js

Now we know how to use the API, let's implement it to handle our use cases. To get the git commit date, we're going to use a package called simple-git. We'll add this as a dependency of our Docusaurus project:

I ended up switching to simple-git as nodegit ssh issues had me 2 days behind on trying to get out lesson 8. It provides a very simple interface to effectively accomplish everything I needed. It also allows me to use a personal token to do Git updates to GitHub which I liked a lot better.

simple-git is a JavaScript library which allows you to run git commands from within TypeScript / JavaScript code.

You know, cz-format-extension is very highly expandable. You can use API of Inquirer.js, git-repo-info, and git-js.

In either case of appending a comment to an existing list or committing the first one, the end result of the try catch block will be a new branch checked out with the name of the commentId that was just generated. Be sure to note the difference between checkoutBranch and checkoutLocalBranch in the Simple Git git checkout documentation.

Simple-git is a tool for running git commands in any Node.js application. It gives us access to make all kinds of permutations on top of your commits and branches. With that library, we can easily create a script responsible for releasing our latest changes and running it from the command line.

Inquirer.js is a handy tool for adding interactive prompts to your CLI.

There is a CLI application based on Inquirer. Potentially, it could be another CLI library, say something from the following list. Our goal is to provide integration tests. But before that, let's look at the related terminology.

inquirer

If you boil plop down to its core, it is basically glue code between inquirer prompts and handlebar templates.

This is a new tutorial on how to create a command line interface application, and our application today is a Mortgage Calculator. I used in this program packages such as 1- inquirer for interactive questions and answers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/inquirer 2- Sqlite3 DBMS 3- Chalk for colorful output in the terminal: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk

We can easily achieve that with the inquirer package. This package allows you to ask different types of questions, such as input questions (open-text questions), confirmation questions (Yes/No), etc.
