## README
zx
```js
#!/usr/bin/env zx
await $`cat package.json | grep name`
const branch = await $`git branch --show-current`
await $`dep deploy --branch=${branch}`
await Promise.all([

Bash is great, but when it comes to writing more complex scripts,
many people prefer a more convenient programming language.
JavaScript is a perfect choice, but the Node.js standard library
requires additional hassle before using. No compromise, take the best of both. The `zx` package provides
useful cross-platform wrappers around `child_process`, escapes arguments and
gives sensible defaults.
