Did you know you can apply your web development skills to the terminal? At this month's meetup, we will explore two libraries for building command line tooling in JavaScript:

* oclif, the open CLI framework, provides a structured approach for building command line tools in JavaScript with commands, subcommands, flags, arguments, help text, and more

* ink enables rendering of react components to a terminal UI, with support for flexbox layouts, so you can easily build dynamic and responsive interfaces in your terminal, just like you would on the web

Join us to learn about these libraries with a live build of an interactive CLI tool.
