I'm not a node dev, but our projects at work keep growing with helper files. We have a .buildkite to control the build, we have a makefile, a Dockerfile, a docker-compose file, go.mod and go.sum. These core files are about half of what we had a few years ago, so that is nice. The makefile references a dozen helper scripts though that are also checked into the repo (helpers to run tests, build images, publish images, clean up, etc). Most of these are vastly similar between different repos/services we run. I can't think of something better, and there is a part of me that enjoys the lack of magic: just follow the code starting at ./buildkite which will point to each make operation which will point to each helper script. The other part of me feels like, "I just want to write some code and as long as my project is structured right, everything else should be shared tooling _outside_ my repo."
