foreach-cli
CLI utility to execute a command for each file matching a glob. Originally a fork of [each-cli][https://www.npmjs.com/package/each-cli], but then completely rewritten in order to provoke simplicity and eliminate annoying bugs. It differs form the original mainly by setting the CWD (current working directory) to the directory the foreach command was executed from, as opposed to the original package's behavior which set the CWD to the matched file's directory. It also takes the command arguments as strings to allow more complex commands such as piping.
