Just: A Command Runner
I use https://github.com/davetron5000/gli for this, since I work in ruby. Adding something like just or gli to your project is a huge win. Every dev can just `just update_db` to refresh their dev db, `just update_secrets` to update dev secrets. Whatever. So much better than putting snippets in a wiki or whatever.
I like gli because it gives you subcommands, like `gli database refresh` etc.

Command line parser library, which one do you like the most, regardless of language?
My favorite is probably trollop but I haven’t needed to write a cli in years. Clap is also great, but the best I’ve used is probably Click which is saying something because I absolutely hate Python. Also deploying is a completely separate problem from which library is best. Click is by far the worst to deploy, then Clap, then trollop.
