  • Ink

    🌈 React for interactive command-line apps

    • Looks cool, right? Building a similar UI in the terminal without any library would be quite hard, though, thanks to Ink it's almost as easy as building any frontend UI with React.

  • meow

    🐈 CLI app helper

    • As you can see, cli.tsx also looks pretty similar to React's root file, but, it has something more to offer using meow library. meow is a popular library that helps you build nice CLI applications gives you access to create usage docs and handles args and flags.

  • execa

    Process execution for humans

    • To simplify the process of running the commands, I will use execa - abstraction library on top of Node.js child_process methods.
