Webpack Shell Plugin

A webpack plugin that executes shell commands before and after webpack builds. Version 0.5.0 requires webpack 4+ (peer dependency). It supports arrays of commands for start, end, and exit phases, and provides a 'dev' mode to avoid re-running scripts in watch/watch-dev-server. Unlike alternatives like shelljs-webpack-plugin, it uses spawn by default but offers a 'safe' flag to fall back to exec. The plugin is unmaintained since 2019 and may have issues with webpack 5.
