Getting started

1. Create a new Process manager

``typescript
const manager = new ProcessManager("My task name");
`

1. Create one or more processes that can run in parallel

`typescript
const backendProcess = ProcessManager.promiseSpawn(
"yarn start:backend",
[processFlags],
{
stdio: "inherit",
shell: true,
}
);

const frontendProcess = ProcessManager.promiseSpawn(
"yarn start:frontend",
[processFlags],
{
stdio: "inherit",
shell: true,
}
);
`

1. Add processes to the manager queue

`typescript
manager.queue(frontendProcess, backendProcess);
`
