Package managers for JavaScript and Node.js — handling dependency installation, version resolution, and workspace management.

- **[npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)** — default package manager bundled with Node.js; the largest package registry in the world
- **[pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)** — fast, disk-efficient package manager using a content-addressable store and hard links to avoid duplicate installs
- **[Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)** — alternative to npm with workspaces, Plug'n'Play (zero-installs), and improved monorepo support
- **[Bun](https://bun.sh/)** — all-in-one JavaScript runtime with a built-in package manager; significantly faster installs than npm/pnpm
- **[ni](https://github.com/antfu-collective/ni)** — unified CLI that auto-detects the project's package manager (npm/yarn/pnpm/bun/deno) from lock files and translates commands like `ni`, `nr`, `nlx` into the right syntax
