FAQ

Q: How do I run shell commands?

A: Either:

• Set cwd when running exec* commands:

import {execSync} from "node:child_process"

execSync("ls", {cwd: "/some/path"})

• Set the root directory for the node process by evaluating process.chdir:

// In any file
process.chdir("/some/path")
process.cwd() // "/some/path"
