The avrgirl project's purpose is to provide a NodeJS alternative to interacting with Atmel® AVR microchips. 'Interacting' is namely:

1. Flashing / reading EEPROM and flash memories
2. Setting / reading fuses
3. Managing microchip state
4. Support for all modern day programming devices (including those on Arduino boards)

Why? I am writing a series about it on my personal blog.
Watch my talk about avrgirl at JSconfEU 2015

The following standalone packages have been released, more in the works:

1. avrgirl-arduino - support for the Arduino platform
2. avrgirl-chips-json - Atmel® AVR chip config
3. avrgirl-stk500v2 - NodeJS implementation of the STK500v2 protocol
4. avrgirl-ispmkii - support for the Atmel® AVRISP mkII programming device

1. avrgirl-usbtinyisp - support for usbtinyisp programmers, including the Adafruit Trinket!

This repository will become the 'kitchen sink' package with all avrgirl packages available as a single install and CLI / functional tool to access them.
