call yourself

English translation: use, run, execute

English term or phrase: call yourself
Nothing changes.
It's the exact same thing as if you were to do it through
the command line.
Because the exact same commands.
It's the exact same version of Gulp, and Grunt, and MPM, and Power, and
all these other tools that we ship now with Visual Studio,
that you would call yourself, right?

Selected answer:use, run, execute
Explanation:
Given the context, this appears to be about a front-end to a number of existing commands.

Users used to have to type the commands. Now, it is inferred that they can choose the commands from a user interface.

But the author wishes to reassure the reader that it is still the exact same underlying command that is executed - ie the one that users would call themselves.

"Yourself" is used to emphasise that the user used to have to do it.

So, call is used here in the sense of a call to a routine - in other words run, use or execute.
