This package provides TypeScript definitions for the 'minimist' library, a popular command-line argument parser. These definitions enable static type checking and improved code completion when using 'minimist' in TypeScript projects. They define interfaces for the parsed arguments object and options, ensuring more reliable and maintainable code by preventing type-related errors at compile time. This allows developers to leverage the benefits of TypeScript's type system while working with 'minimist'.
