Thank you for the kind words, folks! I really hope it helped you!

Thanks for the explanation

Such an awesome feature I've never imagined the mere local command being capable of this! Thank you for this education!

It was really helpful for me as a new learner!!! thanks a lot!!

This example was extremely helpful! Thanks a lot :)

Is there any possibility to have arguments in the scripts which values are provided through options in the npx command?
Something like: npx <url-to-gist> --source ./path/to/source --dest ./path/to/dest?

Thank you, @fredsced, @RyotaBannai, @mdn-cloud, @jonasmateus.
