pnpm
Fast, disk space efficient package manager for JavaScript
pnpm is a JavaScript package manager focused on installation speed and disk space efficiency. It uses a content-addressable storage approach to avoid duplicating packages across projects, making it particularly effective for monorepos. It also offers improved security features to protect against supply chain attacks.
pnpm stores packages in a content-addressable store and uses hard links/symlinks so packages are never duplicated on disk, dramatically reducing install times and storage usage.
