@neofork/devlogr

Because deployment tools deserve better than sad console.log()s.

🎯 Built for CLI tools. Like, actually.

Most loggers are backend-first or some sad cousin of console.log. devlogr isn’t.

This is structured logging with style, made for devtools, task runners, release scripts, and CLI utilities that actually run in terminals—whether it's your local shell or your CI pipeline.

No brittle hacks. No bland output. Just focused feedback, clean visuals, and useful context—designed for the humans running your tools.

🚀 Quickstart

npm install @neofork/devlogr

import { createLogger } from '@neofork/devlogr';

const log = createLogger('my-cli');

log.title('🔧 Setup');
log.info('Starting process');
log.success('Complete!');

log.startSpinner('Working...');
log.updateSpinnerText('Still going...');
log.completeSpinnerWithSuccess('All done!');

✨ Features That Make DevOps Swoon

• 🌀 Animated Spinners – Fully interactive, CI-safe feedback loops
• ⚙️ Zero Config – Drop-in defaults, full customization optional
• 🧱 CLI-Native Design – Terminal-aware and CI-friendly
