it has nice name but collides with watch command/utility

here is the ref: https://linux.die.net/man/1/watch

you want might to add alias just-watch or wtch

i am not saying change the name but it might brake some functionality of other apps fyi.

have a nice day!

Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn't aware of that.

Unfortunately as far as I know it's not possible to install a package with npm under an alias, so I guess I should find a better name for it. If anybody have any other ideas I'm all ears, I'd like it to be a short word, it would be better if "[command name] [movie name]" was a proper sentence.

See https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#bin foran example where cli.js is aliased to myapp:

{ "bin" : { "myapp" : "./cli.js" } }

@millette Yes, but I was thinking more about a npm i -g package my-alias command, which it's not possible. What you are suggesting basically changes the name of the binary everywhere, I'd prefer to also change the name of the package itself at that point.

I've renamed it to cliflix, that shouldn't cause any other problem of this sort.
