About:
ZX is a modern shell scripting tool that leverages JavaScript to execute shell commands with a more readable and powerful syntax. It provides convenient utilities for handling paths, streams, and processes, making complex automation tasks simpler to write and maintain.
Key Features:
  • Command substitution with $() syntax
  • Built-in utilities for paths and streams
  • Template literal syntax for shell commands
  • Cross-platform shell compatibility
  • TypeScript support
Use Cases:
  • Automating complex deployment pipelines
  • Writing cross-platform build scripts
  • Creating system administration automation
Alternatives:
  • Bash – More powerful for complex logic but less readable for non-shell experts
  • Python – More verbose for shell operations but better for large applications
