I built a CLI for the process/port commands I could never remember

Source: Dev.to

Overview

proc is a small CLI tool that lets you quickly query and manage processes and ports without having to remember complex command pipelines.

Usage

# Find what’s listening on port 3000
proc on :3000

# Kill the process listening on port 3000
proc kill :3000

# List ports used by Node.js processes
proc on node

# Show the process running in the current directory
proc in .

# Find Node.js processes in the current directory
proc by node --in .

# Identify what is running a specific script
proc for ./server.py

# Kill multiple targets at once
proc kill :3000,:8080,node

The syntax is consistent across commands: you can specify a port (:port), a PID, or a process name.
