To Yarn and Back to Npm Again
I've been enjoying pnpm as my node package manager for about a year now.<p><<a href="https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm>" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm></a><p>It centrally downloads all of the modules and then "symlinks" them into your `node_modules` folder.<p>This is nice because one, it uses less disk space, two, if you've already downloaded a package at a particular version it links it out of the local repo.<p>Also uses shrinkwrap to handle package locking.
