The opposite of `tee`, merges multiple command io stream and controls like 1 command.

```

-> command 1 stream ─┐

-> command 2 stream ─┤

                     └─ stdout/stderr/SIGINT to kill both

```

# install

```sh

% go get -u github.com/otiai10/tie

# then just hit `tie`

```

# why?

When you need to start 2 file watchers, and kill them at the same time, like this

```sh

% nohup rails server &

% nohup npm start-webpack &

# then

% pkill rails

% pkill start-webpack

# <- annoying :(

```

# usage

```sh

% tie

> rails server # return key

> npm start-webpack # return key

> # return key again

[0] ... # Rails log here

[1] ... # npm log here

# To kill both, just Ctrl+C once!

```

# examples

in both ways, you can kill all the commands by just 1 Ctrl+C
