Easier CLIs with TypeScript

It's even faster than I originally described for a fast one off script.

The prompt is

Using @commander-js/extra-typings and @inquirer/prompts, and jsdoc typescript types
 
build a cli that does the following...
 
[describe the cli]
 
example header
 
#!/usr/bin/env node
// @ts-check
import { Command } from '@commander-js/extra-typings'
import { confirm } from '@inquirer/prompts'
import { $ } from 'zx'
 
$.verbose = true

Also promising

brocli looks very nice interface to a cli than commander.

Why no execa

Execa works well for simple cases but it had a few extra protections when just wanting to replace a shell script.

This included

• pipes working differently (you have to .pipe things instead of using |)
• some auto escaped characters such as empty string
• harder to use conditional arguments (requires [].filter(Boolean))

These were enough gotchas to want to use zx instead. The extra escaping might be useful if you are running user input, but that seems incredibly scary and would want to avoid that for most cases so for now zx as the default seems ok.
