B2G Scripts
Contains a single cli script - b2g-scripts
with a growing number of subcommands.
In general it is assumed you have a working b2g emulator/desktop/phone with marionette turned on and listening on port 2828.
Commands like reload-app are not going to be useful if you're not in DEBUG mode (everything is in offline cache).
