pnpm-patch-i

A better and interactive pnpm patch.

Usage

npx pnpm-patch-i package-name

This CLI wraps with pnpm patch and provides a better interactive experience:

Have the patch dir under your local node_modules/ folder instead of a global temp folder
More human-friendly folder name instead of random string
Open the editing folder in your editor via launch-editor
Wait for your changes and automatically run pnpm commit-patch <dir> for you
Always runs at where pnpm-lock.yaml is located

It's also possible to apply a patch directly from a directory (normally a local build of the package), for example:

npx pnpm-patch-i vite ../vite/packages/vite --build

--build (-b) flag will invoke npm run build in the source directory before applying the patch.
