The child_process module in Node.js provides the ability to spawn child processes, which can be used to execute shell commands. Unlike shelljs, it does not provide a high-level API for file and directory manipulation, but it offers more control over the execution of commands.
fs-extra is a module that extends the built-in fs module with additional file system methods. It provides methods for file and directory manipulation similar to shelljs but does not include command execution capabilities.
execa is a modern alternative to child_process. It provides a simpler API for executing shell commands and handling their output. It does not include file and directory manipulation features like shelljs.
