								    < p > My website includes several various command line tools - e.g. < a  href = "https://sculpin.io" > Sculpin< / a > , < a  href = "http://gulpjs.com" > Gulp< / a >  and < a  href = "http://behat.org" > Behat< / a >  - each needing different arguments and options, depending on the command being run. For example, for Sculpin, I normally include several additional options when viewing the site locally - the full command that I use is < code > ./vendor/bin/sculpin generate --watch --server --clean --no-interaction< / code > . Typing this repeatedly is time consuming and could be easily mis-typed, forgotten or confused with other commands.< / p >

								< p > Here are the scripts that I’  m using - they are slightly different from those in the video. I use the < code > --generate< / code >  and < code > --watch< / code >  options for Sculpin and the < code > gulp watch< / code >  command for NPM. I had to change these before the recording as I was using the < a  href = "https://github.com/paxtonhare/demo-magic" > demo magic< / a >  script to run the commands, and existing from a watch session was also ending the script process.< / p >
