RunDMC

dirt-quick utility functions wrapping node's child_process that I use in automation tasks so that I don't need to remember exactly how child_process works every time

let {run, pipe, runBg} = require('@cube-drone/rundmc`)

async function main(){
    await run('echo toots')
    let linesOfText = await pipe('docker ps -a')
    for(let line of linesOfText){
        console.warn(line)
    }
    let proc = runBg('node longRunning.thing')
    // do some stuff
    proc.kill()
}

jake? never heard of 'em

I use jake a lot to do local automations, but jake doesn't work if you're delivering your project as a bin using npmrc - so we can use rundmc's task and desc functions to monkeypatch jake's task and desc functions, then call runCommandFromArgsIfArgsExist to turn any bin.js into a local task runner, using (I hope) essentially the same Jakefile that we've always been using.
