import-fresh

Similar to create-require, import-fresh allows you to require a module afresh, ensuring that it is re-evaluated. It's useful for testing and situations where you need to bypass Node's require cache. However, it doesn't allow specifying a directory for module resolution like create-require does.

proxyquire

Proxyquire is designed for overriding dependencies during testing. It allows you to create a custom `require` function that can return mock modules instead of the real ones. While it serves a different primary purpose (mocking for tests), it shares the concept of creating a custom require function with create-require.
