Build a simple Node.js CLI tool without any dependencies. A single command to clone and install a repository.

Npm has a great command called init. Running the command npm init temporarily installs a package you named create- to run its main entry. It uses npx under the hood, but with a more familiar command.

One significant advantage of init is that it always uses the latest version of your package; you don’t have to update it manually as you would have to globally. But it still works, you can install the package globally if you prefer.
