NOTE: youmust be on Node.js LTS (v18) or higher

This is like tsx but with https imports support + ability to run external files directly from CLI + only 1 dependency: esbuild

If file is .js, .cjs, .mjs, .ts, .cts, or .mts, it will bundled with esbuild on the fly then executed with Node.js.

If the file is css, txt, md, html, svg, xml, yaml, yml, toml, csv, sql, graphql, or gql it will be read and printed to the console.
