package-manager-proxy

A TypeScript CLI that automatically detects the package manager (pnpm, bun, npm, yarn, etc.) based on the current directory, and then forwards all CLI args to that package manager.

Note: This was made for my personal use, but should work for others too :)

Install

1. Clone this repo
2. Install dependencies
3. Run the build script (it's just tsc) npm run build or bun run build or yarn run build or pnpm run build or pm build 😉
4. Link the project, npm link does the job.

That's it!

Demo

Install npm packages

This will install better-auth by using the package manager in your project

pm i better-auth

Run scripts

Passing any argument that isn't an alias or install command will automatically be treated as a script to be ran, this will always be called with <pm> run <arguments>

pm build

Will become npm run build, or bun run build, or yarn run build, etc.

Custom Alias scripts

As part of this repo, there is an aslias.json, which you can modify and add custom commands to.

By default, there is a ba:docs and possibly more, which is just for my personal use.

When running pm followed by an alias name, it will use the defined alias command prefixed with the package manager.

So something like this:

{
    "ba:docs": "-F docs dev --port 3001"
}

ran with:

pm ba:docs

will become:

pnpm -F docs dev --port 3001

Basic Info

If you just want basic info such as all of your active aliases or the current projects package manager, you can just run:

pm

Which will return something like this:

Package Manager: bun
┌─────────┬───────────────────────────┐
│ (index) │ Values                    │
├─────────┼───────────────────────────┤
│ ba:docs │ '-F docs dev --port 3001' │
└─────────┴───────────────────────────┘
