@csstools/csstools-cli v3.0.18

CSSTools CLI

CSSTools CLI lets you run any plugin from @csstools/postcss-plugins from the command line.

Usage

We recommend using the CSSTools CLI as a prototyping and debugging tool. With npx you can use the CLI directly without installing it globally.

!CAUTION If you are building/customizing a toolchain it is best not to use the CLI.

General Help :

npx -y @csstools/csstools-cli
