npez - Streamlined Project Creation and Tool Management

Overview

npez is a comprehensive CLI tool designed to eliminate the need for memorizing or searching for npx commands. It provides a unified interface for creating new projects with popular frameworks and managing development tools, all through simple, intuitive commands.
