💖 NAME 💖

zx — the tool that launches your modern Javascript scripts, bestie. that's literally it. it's giving "write better scripts" energy and we are obsessed. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first things first, this page is XZ(1) from the User Commands manual — yes the title is a little chaotic, we don't talk about it, moving on. 🙈

we're on zx 7.1.1 and this is, quote unquote, a tool for writing better scripts. no cap. 🫶

🎀 Usage 🎀

zx [options] <script>

that's the whole vibe check right there. give it a script, sprinkle some options, boom. 💅

👑 Options 👑

here's the full menu, every single one, don't skip:

  • --quiet — shhh 🤫 it will not echo your commands. stealth mode activated.
  • --shell=<path> — want a different shell? hand it the path and it'll use that custom shell binary instead.
  • --prefix=<command> — every single command gets this prefix slapped on the front. like a lil accessory for all of them. 🎀
  • --eval=<js>, -e — just evaluate the script inline, no file needed.
  • --install, -i — installs your dependencies for you. she's self-sufficient. 💪
  • --experimental — flips on the experimental features. ⚠️ they're experimental for a reason bestie, proceed with the awareness.
  • --version, -v — prints the current zx version. know your era. ⭐
  • --help, -h — prints the help. when in doubt, ask. 🙋
  • --repl — start repl. live laugh interactively. 🔥

that's the page, bestie. go write something iconic. 💜

this whole thing is zx 7.1.1, dated December 2023 — and yes, it still lives under the XZ(1) header. iconic behavior, honestly. bye!! 🌈🦋💖
