@kyushun/nix
Advanced tools
@kyushun/nix is a tool that detects the npm package manager used in your repository (npm, yarn, pnpm, etc.) and runs the corresponding commands, simplifying your npm experience.
Inspired by @antfu/ni and azu/ni.zsh, this package adopts the core functionality of @antfu/ni but offers a more unified command structure. Unlike @antfu/ni, which uses different prefixes for various commands like install, run, upgrade, and uninstall, our tool maintains a consistent command prefix across all operations. Additionally, while azu/ni.zsh is restricted to the zsh environment, our package can be used wherever npm is available.
