How does plis work ?

Plis uses scripts and configuration files you create and creates cli tools for you, plis handles the parsing of arguments, flags and all user input, you only write the logic.

Plis is similar to "npm", it has defined directories where packages (tools) are stored, tools can be global or local depending on how you install them. Plis reads these tools and makes it possible for you to run them. You can simply run a tool by running.
