[stacic]

Additions to the tools release process for the proposed cordova-local utility currently at https://github.com/stacic/cordova-utility

Is anyone using cordova-local or can this PR be closed as stale?

What a shame that nobody reviewed this wonderful contribution from 3 years ago, would like to revive it when I get some spare cycles. I just made a fork at https://github.com/brodybits/cordova-utility to be sure to preserve it.

FYI I noticed that @stacic (Staci Cooper) is in http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html so we know that the needed CLA is in place.

Why not use npx cordova?

Why not use npx cordova?

• extra typing
• not everyone has npx (Node 6)

I think the ideal solution would be to have an extremely lightweight CLI that uses scripts from local packages. Not sure how much the newer Node.js tooling works like this or not.

Gotta say that I am starting to agree with your point. I do sometimes use npx to run local tooling that is not yet integrated with scripts in package.json. Closing in favor of your point.
