package-transfer

Simple utility to transfer packages from your dependencies or devDependencies lists into new project.

Install

npm install -g package-transfer

Usage

pkg-transfer [options]

Transfer dependencies from old-project to current project (my-new-project):

cd my-new-project
pkg-transfer -s ../old-project

The command detects which packages need to be transferred and offers to auto install them into target package.

This command does exactly the same thing only for devDependencies:

pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --dev

If you prefer yarn over npm:

pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --yarn

Strict mode

Most of the time you are locking your package.json dependencies to exact version. If you wish to transfer those exact versions to target package.json then just use --strict argument.

pkg-transfer -s ../my-project --strict
