This is a collection of various small CLI scripts and tools, that I made available for easy use. The scripts are deployed as NPM package, so you can call them with npx or install them globally with npm.

Most of the scripts relate to repetitive tasks with NodeJS and React development, such as setting up certain frameworks or scaffolding files, but there are other scripts such as ffmpeg tasks or file system utilities. There are some that are specific to parts of my personal workflow, but also quite a few that should be interesting to general use.

You can find a full list of available scripts on scripts.lukasbach.com.

Usage

Use the command listed on each script page to run it:

npx @lukasbach/scripts react/fc

Alternatively, you can install the tool globally and run the scripts with ldo:

npm i -g @lukasbach/scripts
ldo react/fc

Some scripts also have shortcuts. For example, the react/fc script can also be run with ldo fc. You can edit shortcuts with ldo edit-shortcuts. All shortcuts that are available by default are listed in the Shortcuts Page.

It is also possible to call the script without any parameters, and it will interactively search all available scripts.
