How is VUE Cli UI made?

I've came across the Vue Cli GUI and it's amazing!
But I'm wondering how something like that is made?
What language is used? How are they able to add files and folders to my computer through web app thats running on a local server?

The entire project is open-source if you want to take a look at the real source code, but it's basically a JavaScript app (the UI is a full Vue application!) that connects to a local server running Node. Since Node has full access to the computer its running in, they can manipulate the file system and basically do anything that you can do in a normal Node app.

So it's just a Vue app with Node backend? That makes sense! Thank you!
