Command Shortcuts

Package managers that execute scripts from a package.json or deno.(json|jsonc) file can be shortened when in concurrently.
The following are supported:

Syntax	Expands to
`npm:<script>`	`npm run <script>`
`pnpm:<script>`	`pnpm run <script>`
`yarn:<script>`	`yarn run <script>`
`bun:<script>`	`bun run <script>`
`node:<script>`	`node --run <script>`
`deno:<script>`	`deno task <script>`

Note

node --run is only available from Node 22 onwards.

For example, given the following package.json contents:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "lint:js": "...",
    "lint:ts": "...",
    "lint:fix:js": "...",
    "lint:fix:ts": "..."
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

It's possible to run some of these with the following command line:

$ concurrently "pnpm:lint:js"
# Is equivalent to
$ concurrently -n lint:js "pnpm run lint:js"

Note that the command automatically receives a name equal to the script name.

If you have several scripts with similar name patterns, you can use the * wildcard to run all of them at once.
The spawned commands will receive names set to whatever the * wildcard matched.

$ concurrently "npm:lint:fix:*"
# is equivalent to
$ concurrently -n js,ts "npm run lint:fix:js" "npm run lint:fix:ts"

If you specify a command name when using wildcards, it'll be a prefix of what the * wildcard matched:

$ concurrently -n fix: "npm:lint:fix:*"
# is equivalent to
$ concurrently -n fix:js,fix:ts "npm run lint:fix:js" "npm run lint:fix:ts"

Filtering out commands matched by wildcard is also possible. Do this with by including (!<some pattern>) in the command line:

$ concurrently 'yarn:lint:*(!fix)'
# is equivalent to
$ concurrently -n js,ts "yarn run lint:js" "yarn run lint:ts"

Note

If you use this syntax with double quotes ("), bash and other shells might fail parsing it. You'll need to escape the !, or use single quote (') instead.
