Usage

Use in your npm project instead of npm ci:

npx ci

Why?

npm has a npm ci command to install dependencies from the lock file (eg. package-lock.json), ensuring all project contributors have the same dependencies.

This command is different across 3rd-party package-managers like yarn and pnpm, and can be confusing to remember when switching between projects.

This is where npx ci comes in:

• Package-manager agnostic

  npx ci is a package-manager agnostic npm ci. You can run this in any project and dependencies will be installed appropriately.

  It's great for contributing to new projects!

• Can use in any environment with a single command

  If yarn or pnpm isn't already installed, npx ci installs it for you.

  It's great for using it in CI/CD workflows!

• Typo proof

  When you accidentally type npx when typing in npm ci, your dependencies still get installed.

  It's actually the safer option too!
