🌸 General commands 🌸

here's the group chat of everything she can do, one by one, no gatekeeping:

• corepack <binary name>[@<version>] [... args] — runs the package manager u asked for, right inside the local folder u are standing in 🫶 (yes u can pin a @<version> too, icon behavior)
• corepack cache clean — cleans out the Corepack cache. it's giving spring cleaning, it's giving ✨fresh start✨
• corepack disable [--install-directory #0] ... — takes the Corepack shims back OUT of the install directory. bye babes 👋
• corepack enable [--install-directory #0] ... — drops the Corepack shims INTO the install directory. welcome home besties 🏠💖
• corepack install — installs whatever package manager the local project has configured. she read the room and she's delivering 📦
• corepack install <-g,--global> [--cache-only] ... — installs package managers on the system itself, like, globally. main character energy fr fr 👑
• corepack pack [--json] [-o,--output #0] ... — stores package managers in a tarball so u can carry them around like little treasures 🎁
• corepack up — updates the package manager used in the current project. glow-up in progress 🔥
• corepack use <pattern> — defines which package manager the current project should be using. setting the vibe, no cap ⭐

hey babes 👀 u can also pull up more deets on ANY of these commands by calling them with the -h,--help flag right after the command name. like, immediately after. don't skip a beat.
