npmfix

We welcome contributions to npmfix! Whether you want to report a bug, suggest a feature, improve the documentation, or contribute code, your help is highly appreciated.

This project was created to simplify cleaning and reinstalling dependencies for entire projects with minimal commands, eliminating the need to monitor and check progress constantly. It is designed to be useful for experienced professionals (seniors/specialists) seeking efficiency and for juniors aiming to streamline their workflow and clarify concepts.

Features

• Configurable Log Retention: Logs have a maximum age of 7 days by default, which can be changed in src/config.json.
• Powerful Commands: Manage project dependencies, clean up directories, and automate builds with a single tool.
