Where to find it? https://github.com/adamcooke/procodile Run processes in the background (and foreground) on Mac & Linux from a Procfile (for production and/or development environments) About (taken from the repo) Running & deploying Ruby apps to places like Viaduct & Heroku is really easy but running processes on actual servers is less fun. Procodile aims to take some the stress out of running your Ruby/Rails apps and give you some of the useful process management features you get from the takes of the PaaS providers. Procodile is a bit like Foreman but things are designed to run in the background (as well as the foreground if you prefer) and there's a supervisor which keeps an eye on your processes and will respawn them if they die. Procodile works out of the box with your existing Procfile. Running procodile start --dev (this keeps it running in the foreground) If you don't it runs in the background. So its running in the background, now what? It acts like a normal service, call procodile stop,

Version 5 of NPM is released and it is packed full of goodies! http://blog.npmjs.org/post/161081169345/v500 Bundled in all new installations of Node.js 8 New Features A new, standardised lockfile feature meant for cross-package-manager compatibility (package-lock.json), and a new format and semantics for shrinkwrap. --save is no longer necessary. All installs will be saved by default. You can prevent saving with --no-save. Installing optional and dev deps is unchanged Installing a package directory now ends up creating a symlink and does the Right Thing™ as far as saving to and installing from the package lock goes. If you have a monorepo, this might make things much easier to work with, and probably a lot faster too. Project-level (toplevel) preinstall scripts now run before anything else, and can modify node_modules before the CLI reads it. Two new scripts have been added, prepack and postpack, which will run on both npm pack and npm publish, but NOT on npm install (without arguments). Git dependencies wit

At its core, the scaffold system is all about flexibility. An author of an scaffold(referred to as an addon), decides how to provide a webpack.config.js. Migrate: Easy migration from v1 to v2 Another feature we’ve added, is migrate. As webpack v2 came with some changes that might have been hard to digest for some, we’ve decided to unload some more burden from the users backs. The migrate feature is a great way to transition your existing v1 configuration to v2, and aims to assist you when moving to webpack v2. Simple command: webpack-cli migrate webpack.config.js CLI is being integrated into webpack itself, so you won't need to also install webpack-cli
