📂 Run dev CLI 📂

Description

This is a CLI tool for running npm run dev on a selected project folder. It will prompt the user to select a project folder from a list of folders located in the ~/git directory with this command available. Once a folder is selected, it will open the folder in your default IDE (e.g. VS Code) and launch the npm run dev command on the folder using the default shell. It also pipes the output of the command to the parent process, which basically allows to see the command output in the terminal.
