💡 pnpm cheatsheet

Most pnpm commands can be done recursively against all workspaces with -r

You can target a specific workspace by being inside its workspace directory

• or you can target a workspace by relative directory path -C <dir>
• or you can filter workspaces to target using --filter <filter-spec>
  • See the docs for more complex filtering than just package name

Dependency management

To install current dependencies for the whole repo: pnpm i

ℹ

pnpm symlinks node_modules inside workspaces.

If you need to clean out node_modules you can't just do the root one, so use pnpm dlx npkill which will let you delete them all :)

To add a new dependency pnpm add <package-name> with -D if you want it to be a dev dependency

Script running

Run scripts with pnpm <script-name>

ℹ

If the name of the script conflicts with a pnpm command, do pnpm run <script-name>
