Sounds like Make.

You can also use npm-scripts for basic shell commands. You can rely on NPM-authored tasks and have them listed as a devDependency, so that users don't need to install anything manually.

  //create a UMD build for the browser
  "scripts": {
    "bundle": "browserify index.js -s foo > build/foo.js",
    "minify": "uglifyjs build/foo.js > build/foo.min.js",
    "build": "npm run bundle && npm run minify"     
  }

Now a user just needs to run this to build your app:

    npm run build
