Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I prefer to pre-install @better-auth/cli as a dev dependency rather than using npx or yarn dlx.

However, @better-auth/cli is installed as cli (node_modules/.bin/cli), which is a confusing name and might conflict with others.

Describe the solution you'd like

-  "bin": "./dist/index.mjs",
+  "bin": {
+    "better-auth": "./dist/index.mjs"
+  },

This change allows executing yarn better-auth ... with the pre-installed dev dependencies and still allows using npx or yarn dlx, since it has a single entry.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

I'm currently using yarn dlx @better-auth/cli for it. But it's slower because it needs to check the version and cache for every execution.

Additional context

No response

Thanks for your suggestion! We understand that having the CLI installed as simply "cli" can lead to confusion and possible conflicts, especially when pre-installing it as a dev dependency. Your proposed change to use a bin object to expose the command as "better-auth" is clear and would allow users to execute commands with "yarn better-auth ..." as well as using npx or yarn dlx without extra overhead [1].

We’re going to review this request and consider how it fits into our roadmap for improving the CLI experience. In the meantime, could you share any other CLI usability improvements you’d like to see?
