npm-run-all

npm-run-all is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline the execution of multiple npm-scripts, allowing them to run either sequentially or in parallel. Its primary motivation is to simplify complex script sequences, moving from verbose `&&` chains to more concise, glob-pattern-friendly commands like `npm-run-all clean build:*`. Crucially, it provides cross-platform compatibility, especially for Windows environments where shell operators like `&` for parallel execution are not natively supported. The package currently stands at version 4.1.5, with a release cadence that addresses bugs and occasionally introduces new features and breaking changes, as seen with the Node.js version support changes in v4.0.0. It differentiates itself by offering dedicated shorthand commands (`run-s` for sequential, `run-p` for parallel) alongside the main `npm-run-all` command, and includes a programmatic Node API for integration into JavaScript applications.
