pnpm

Fast, disk-efficient package manager. Content-addressable global store, strict dependency resolution, first-class workspaces. Default for many TypeScript monorepos.

Try pnpmpnpm.io

pnpm stores every package version once on disk in a content-addressable store and uses hard links and symlinks to materialize node_modules per project. The result: faster installs, far less disk usage, and stricter dependency resolution that catches phantom-dependency bugs npm tolerates. Workspaces are first-class and pair naturally with Turborepo or Nx. Many DD apps and most modern TypeScript monorepos use pnpm as their default.
