Personal CLI

Been planning to do this for a while now, to publish an npm package that serves as a personal CLI (command-line interface). The CLI provides access to my personal details, a list of side projects, and direct links to my social media profiles like GitHub and LinkedIn.

Built With

• yoctocolors for fancy CLI colors
• figlet for ASCII fonts
• cli-table3 for rendering tables

This is published to npm, so we can run this package by executing the command:

npx rvgpl

This will display information directly in the user's terminal.

The source code for this is open-source and you can find the source code here.

Want to build one for yourself?

You can easily create one by cloning and modifying the contents.

Here are the steps, to do so.

1. Fork and Clone:

   • Fork the repository on GitHub.
   • Clone your fork locally.

2. Customization:

   • Update the data.js file to reflect your personal details, including your name, bio, project list, and social media links.
   • Edit the package.json file to give your npm package a unique name and relevant description.

3. Testing:

   Run the following commands to test locally:

   npm install
   npm link

4. Publish Your Package:

   Publish your package on npm with:

   npm login
   npm publish

After publishing, your CLI becomes accessible globally through an npx command.
