You can run this build using an alias like:
alias linear-create-ticket='node ~/code/linear-creator/dist/main.js'
linear-create-ticket
This package uses the node recommended package @inquirer/prompts
I tested with EDITOR=code node dist/main.js, which does open the file in vscode.
The problem with this is that vscode immediately returns, and prompt assumes that you are done
editing.
There may be configurations that will help with this, so I recommend looking at the fine manual.
