What other CLI tools should I add?</p> <p><strong>If you found this interesting, please:</strong></p> <ol> <li>⭐ Star the repo on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/nexus-forg/devtoolkit" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/nexus-forg/devtoolkit</a> </li> <li>💬 Leave a comment with feedback</li> <li>🔄 Share with friends who might like it</li> </ol> <p>Every star means a lot for a 12-year-old developer! 🙏</p> javascript cli python rust
