What are detect-package-manager's main functionalities?

Detecting the package manager

This feature allows you to detect which package manager (e.g., npm, yarn, pnpm) is being used in the current project. The code sample demonstrates how to use the detect-package-manager package to identify the package manager and log its name.

const detectPM = require('detect-package-manager');
