The opposite of `tee` command, combining stdout/stderr from multiple commands and kill them with one signal (Ctrl+C).
```
-> command 1 stream ─┐
-> command 2 stream ─┤
└─ stdout/stderr/SIGINT to kill both
```
It means, you can write 2 parallel jobs in 1 npm script!!
```js
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"start": "too --cmd 'rails s' --cmd 'webpack'"
// Start server and client HMR in parallel,
// and you can kill both by one Ctrl+C!!
},
}
```
# Why?
Sometimes we do that,
```sh
% nohup rails server &
% nohup npm start-webpack &
# after you did some work
% pkill rails
% pkill webpack
```
I don't wanna do this any more, just wanna run multiple processes and kill them with one `Ctrl+C`!
# Usage
```sh
% too --cmd 'rails server' --cmd 'npm start-webpack'
```
Then you will get
```sh
[0] rails # Rails log here
[1] npm # NPM log here
# And you can kill both by one `Ctrl+C` (SIGINT)
```
# Too files
Or you can define your tasks on a yaml file
```yaml
# too.local.yaml
main:
jobs:
- run: rails server
- run: npm start-webpack
```
then
```sh
% too ./too.local.yaml
```
# Install
```sh
% npm install too
```
