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?

Hi @codcarry!
That is a npm specific issue that can have many different causes of malfunction.
I suggest having a look on Google and see what works for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=-+rollbackFailedOptional%3A+verb+npm-session&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
