zx@lite

Just core functions without extras:

  • ~7x smaller than the full version
  • No CLI, no docs, no manpage assets embedded
  • Same package name, but different publish channel — @lite
  • Less code — less risks faster and more reliable ISEC audit
  • Recommended for custom toolkits based on zx
sh
npm i zx@lite
npm i zx@8.5.5-lite

Detailed comparison: versions
