From Ruby to Node: Overhauling Shopify’s CLI for a Better Developer Experience

• shopify-app-cli

  3 976 9.2 Ruby

  Shopify CLI helps you build against the Shopify platform faster.

  

  You are missing a few things about the Ruby based CLI:

  1. dependencies for Gems are specified in the gemspec file and not the Gemfile. See https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/blob/main/shopify-cli... for example. There's a few non-development dependencies.

  2. since it's difficult to package up a Ruby gem for distribution, maybe dependencies were vendored directly in the codebase: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/tree/main/vendor

  This isn't meant to be a comparison of the number of dependencies or anything. Just pointing out a few nuances to how the Ruby dependencies were handled.

  https://blog.herokuapp.com/evolution-of-heroku-cli-2008-2017 Their version 3, started with Ruby, then go/node, then pure node.

  https://github.com/heroku/cli "This is the next generation Node-based Heroku CLI. The goals of this project were to make plugins more flexible, remove Ruby as a runtime dependency, and make the CLI faster. [...] It has identical functionality to the old Ruby CLI." I can't find
