I created this quite some time ago, at the time parallelshell did what I needed it to, but I am lately using run-p for that purpose. Feel free to use whatever you see fit though.

@OSUblake Thank you. I spent a few hours searching for something like shx before I saw your response. Having near duplicate scripts and branching based on platform clearly doesn't scale well.

Thanks so much for this @adamreisnz (also NZ represent! ;) ) - very helpful! Any particular reason for the switch to run-p ? Any other changes since then?

@sjclark Sorry I meant I am using npm-run-all recently. From memory, I think it was better maintained and more in use than parallelshell, or perhaps easier to use, I am not sure anymore it was quite a few years ago that I made the switch ;)

It's worth noting that I don't maintain this gist actively anymore as I do tend to work more with JS frameworks that include their own build tools or that need more complex build processes, but happy to make a few updates based on suggestions if needed.

does it work on windows os?

Hi ya'll, I just wrote an article that might be helpful to this discussion:
https://dev.to/yaireo/automate-npm-package-publish-git-versioning-5cfp

L41 is not working - in VSCode terminal (Windows) I have error:

find: missing argument to `-exec'

Trying this code with no success:

"copy:html": "find src -name \"*.html\" -type f -exec cp {} dist \\;"
