symlinked

symlinked

Node utility to list symlinks made by npm link, yarn link, or fs.link

Install

npm install symlinked

Local install as above is best practice if you are using in a shared codebase because then all developers will use the same version. CLI can be used locally via npx or via npm scripts. npm install has a --global flag you can add if you prefer global use. Yarn can be used via yarn add and yarn global add respectively if you prefer yarn.
