Rush

Simple and lightweight CLI tool to run scripts together in parallel or sequentially.

The built-in run command for most of the package managers like npm run ..., and bun run ... cannot run multiple scripts by design, let alone run it in parallel. You need to create a chain of scripts to run it sequentially, which may not look pretty and redundant.

This tool helps to clear up the multi-script running using glob patterns, and also helps to resolve cross-platform script chaining issues.

Getting started

Installation

Install it with whatever package manager you like npm, yarn, or bun.

npm i @oviirup/rush -D

It will install the package with binary rush and you are all ready to run.

Usage

@oviirup/rush comes with zero-config binary rush with the following options...

• -s --serial : Boolean   Run scripts in sequential order
• -c --continue : Boolean   Set the flag to continue executing other tasks even if a task throws an error
• -m --max : Number   Set the maximum number of parallelism. Default is 0 i.e. unlimited
• -r --race : Boolean   Set the flag to kill all tasks when a task finished with zero
• --silent : Boolean   Set the log level of npm to silent

You can also use the shorthand flags together like -scr that translates to -s -c -r

Examples

$ rush watch:**
$ rush "build:** -- --watch"
$ rush -sr "build:**"
$ rush start-server start-browser start-electron

Note: In some cases, like while using glob patterns you may need to wrap the commands with quotes for them to work properly
