Killport – CLI tool to kill processes running on a specified port

In plain words

Killport is a command-line tool that terminates processes running on a specified port. Designed for developers, it simplifies the task of freeing up ports without manually identifying and stopping applications. The tool operates directly from the terminal, making it useful for software development workflows where port conflicts frequently occur. It's available on GitHub.
