DEMO

npx-brignano

An interactive terminal business card for Anthony Brignano. Run it with npx to view a styled card in your terminal and choose quick actions like emailing or downloading a resume.

Quick start

npx brignano

Demo

What it does

• Renders a boxed, colored business card in the terminal using boxen and chalk.
• Presents a small interactive menu (via inquirer) with actions:
  • Send an email (opens your mail client with mailto:)
  • View the resume (opens https://brignano.io/resume in your browser)
  • Quit

CLI

The CLI supports both interactive mode (default) and non-interactive flags. Run npx brignano --help to see the same help output.

• -h, --help — Show help and exit.
• -v, --view — Open the resume in the default browser (https://brignano.io/resume).
• -d, --download — Deprecated alias; now opens the resume in the browser and prints a deprecation warning.
• -e, --email — Open the default mail client with a new message to [email protected].
• --no-prompt — Show the card only and exit (non-interactive).

Examples

Run interactively (default):

npx brignano

Open resume directly in browser:

npx brignano --view
# or
npx brignano -v

Open mail client to email Anthony:

npx brignano --email
# or
npx brignano -e

Show card only (useful in CI or scripts):

npx brignano --no-prompt

Files

• src/card.ts — primary CLI source (TypeScript).
• dist/card.js — compiled CLI entry referenced by package.json and used by npx.
• package.json — project metadata, bin entry, scripts, and engines (Node >=18).

Usage

• Run directly with npx brignano (no install required).
• Or clone and run locally:

git clone https://github.com/brignano/npx-brignano.git
cd npx-brignano
npm install
npm run build
node dist/card.js

Prerequisites

• Node.js (tested with Node >=18). npx is included with npm.

Notes

• The --download flag is deprecated and now opens the resume in your default browser instead of writing a local file.
• Use --view (or -v) to open the resume directly at https://brignano.io/resume.
• Links printed in the card may be cmd/ctrl+clickable in supported terminals.
