Yarn 2.0

February 26, 2021

Why Yarn?

it's not the speed anymore, it's the change in approaches to dependency management. i like Yarn's approach and explanation better
Plug'n'Play is cool. Instead of installing a bajillion files, you can have just one file called .pnp.cjs instead of a whole folder called node_modules in EVERY project. (React Native isn't yet supported though).
See all available commands with yarn help
