Description

Hi, I am trying to rename files with cli npm but I can't
is there an option for rename? example file.js to file.min.js

Using wildcards with $1 output maybe?

This is my CLI chain (package.json):
```
"scripts": {
"compress": "babel --presets minify *.js --out-file $1.min.js --mangle.keepClassName --no-comments"
}

```
this ouput $1.min.js file -_-

Research direction

Start by reproducing the package.json script with Babel's CLI and inspect how wildcard input and --out-file are handled. Determine the expected naming behavior for each input, then verify that the command produces corresponding .min.js files without leaving the literal $1.min.js name.
