Use the right package manager
Are you tired of dealing with multiple package managers in your projects? Dependency management across different platforms, such as npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun, can often create headaches and confusion.
But luckily, there’s a tool that can help: ni. Ni is a command-line utility that allows you to manage packages across different package managers seamlessly.
With ni, you no longer need to worry about your dependency management for each project. Simply run ni and let the tool handle it for you. This can be a real time saver and makes your development workflow much smoother.
Here are a few examples of how you can use ni:
- ni – installs packages using the correct package manager
- ni vite – installs vite using the correct package manager
- ni @types/node -D – installs @types/node as a dev dependency using the correct package manager
- ni –frozen – installs packages using the correct package manager with the –frozen flag

ni is not just limited to package management – there are other useful commands available as well, such as:
