🖕iCloud (from 🔋's everywhere)

iCloud NoSync node

This package gives you access to nsn command which does some work to stop iCloud from syncing node_modules and forever eating your processing power, bandwidth, and battery.

To use:

# Install tool
yarn add -g @daniel765/node-nosync-icloudd

# Install dependencies with yarn
nsn

# Or install dependencies with npm
nsn -m npm

• -m flag: is what package manager yarn/npm that you want to use. Default package manager is yarn
• -n flag will prevent it from creating/modifying .gitignore file

The script does a few things to work:

• Step 1: if no node_modules is detected it will yarn/npm install for you
• Step 2: Rename node_modules to node_modules.nosync
• Step 3: Add symlink node_modules -> node_modules.nosync so stuff still works
• Step 4: Add entry to .git/info/exclude to ignore the newly created node_modules symlink and node_modules.nosync
• Step 5: Add entry to .gitignore to ignore the node_modules folder
• Step 6: 💰💰💰?

Special thx to Apple for not creating an ignore setting 🙄
