About The Project

scriptlane is a next-generation CLI tool for developers and teams who want full control and a beautiful experience when running and organizing scripts across projects.

Whether you need a better workflow than npm run, want to orchestrate multiple scripts in parallel, or prefer a robust TUI for scripts in your monorepo—scriptlane has you covered.

Features

• 🖥️ Modern TUI: Minimal, beautiful interactive interface for discovering and running scripts.
• 🏃 Concurrent Tasks: Select and run multiple commands in parallel with real-time logs.
• 🏷️ Script Metadata: Organize scripts with groups, descriptions, and aliases.
• 🛠️ Custom Scripts: Use a typed scripts.config.ts for full flexibility (no more JSON lock-in).
• ⚡ CI/CD Ready: Run any script directly in non-interactive mode for pipelines: scriptlane -s "build"
• 📝 Copy-paste Logs: Easily select and copy output with your mouse.
• 💻 Zero lock-in: Runs your current package.json scripts out of the box, supports merging with custom config.
• 🔒 TypeScript-first: Built with TypeScript for safety and extensibility.
