github.com/yarnpkg/berry @yarnpkg-cli-4.17.0

Fast, reliable, and secure dependency management.

Yarn is a modern package manager split into various packages. Its novel architecture allows to do things currently impossible with existing solutions:

• Yarn supports plugins; adding a plugin is as simple as adding it into your repository
• Yarn supports Node by default but isn't limited to it - plugins can add support for other languages
• Yarn supports workspaces natively, and its CLI takes advantage of that
• Yarn uses a bash-like portable shell to make package scripts portable across Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Yarn is first and foremost a Node API that can be used programmatically (via @yarnpkg/core)
• Yarn is written in TypeScript and is fully type-checked

Our supports

Gold sponsors

	All your environment variables, in one place. Stop struggling with scattered API keys, hacking together home-brewed tools, and avoiding access controls. Keep your team and servers in sync with Doppler.
	Your app, enterprise-ready. Start selling to enterprise customers with just a few lines of code. Add Single Sign-On (and more) in minutes instead of months with WorkOS.

But also

	Datadog has been sponsoring the time of our lead maintainer for more than a year now. They also upgraded our account so that we can benefit from long-term telemetry (RFC).
	SysGears also sponsored time from very early in the 2.x development. In particular, their strong investment is the reason why Yarn 2 supports node_modules installs even better than it used to.
	Netlify has been the historical provider for our website. Each time we got issues, they jumped to our help. Their live previews have been super helpful in our development process.
	Cloudflare has also been a historical partner. While we don't directly mirror the npm registry anymore, they still power our website to make its delivery as fast as possible.
	Algolia contributed a lot to our documentation over the years. They still power the search engine we use on both versions of the documentation.

Current status

On top of our classic integration tests, we also run Yarn every day against the latest versions of the toolchains used by our community - just in case. Everything should be green!

Building your own bundle

Clone this repository, then run the following commands:

yarn build:cli

How it works

After building the CLI your global yarn will immediately start to reflect your local changes. This is because Yarn will pick up the yarnPath settings in this repository's .yarnrc.yml, which is configured to use the newly built CLI if available.

Works out of the box!

Note that no other command is needed! Given that our dependencies are checked-in within the repository (within the .yarn/cache directory), you don't even need to run yarn install. Everything just works right after cloning the project and is guaranteed to continue to work ten years from now 🙂

Yarn plugins

Default plugins

Those plugins typically come bundled with Yarn. You don't need to do anything special to use them.

• plugin-compat contains a few built-in patches applied to improve PnP support.
• plugin-constraints adds support for constraints to Yarn.
• plugin-dlx adds support for the yarn dlx command.
• plugin-essentials adds various commands deemed necessary for a package manager (add, remove, ...).
• plugin-exec adds support for using the exec: protocol within your dependencies.
• plugin-file adds support for using the file: protocol within your dependencies.
• plugin-git adds support for cloning packages from Git repositories.
• plugin-github adds support for using GitHub references as dependencies. This plugin doesn't use git.
• plugin-http adds support for using straight URL references as dependencies (tgz archives only).
• plugin-init adds support for the yarn init command.
• plugin-interactive-tools adds support for various interactive commands (yarn upgrade-interactive).
• plugin-link adds support for usin
