About

useRun (userun) is a Python CLI that runs multiple shell commands concurrently and keeps the output readable with prefixed lines (names and optional colors). It gives you:

• Parallel execution - Run multiple commands at the same time
• Named prefixes - Label output with names and optional colors
• Custom prefixes - Format prefixes with index, name, or label
• Failure handling - Optionally stop remaining commands on first failure
• Shell control - Choose the shell and ANSI color passthrough
