CLI Tools

CLI tools build in NodeJS for common needs.

Requirements

git v2.16.0+

Node v12.13.0+

Installation

Clone and install dependencies to /usr/local/bin/cli-tools (or wherever you want).

git clone https://github.com/Enijar/cli-tools /usr/local/bin/cli-tools
npm install --prefix /usr/local/bin/cli-tools

Add the commands you want by creating symbolic links, e.g. this would provide a command called "batch-download".

ln -sF /usr/local/bin/cli-tools/src/cmd/batch-download /usr/local/bin/batch-download

Now you can use that command like this.

batch-download urls.json ~/Downloads results.json
