pnpm is a fast and disk space efficient package manager that streamlines the process of managing JavaScript packages. Its innovative approach means that instead of duplicating files for every project, pnpm uses a content-addressable storage system, which allows it to clone or hard link files from a single source. This not only saves disk space but also boosts performance, making it a great choice for developers who work with multiple projects or large codebases.
pnpm supports monorepos, allowing for efficient management of multiple packages within a single repository. It maintains a strict structure in the node_modules directory, ensuring that each package only accesses what it explicitly needs.
