jarle bun link
Link local packages for development
Use bun link in a local directory to register the current package as a "linkable" package.
cd /path/to/cool-pkg
cat package.json
bun link
bun link v1.3.3 (7416672e)
Success! Registered "cool-pkg"
To use cool-pkg in a project, run:
bun link cool-pkg
Or add it in dependencies in your package.json file:
"cool-pkg": "link:cool-pkg"
This package can now be "linked" into other projects using bun link cool-pkg. This will create a symlink in the node_modules directory of the target project, pointing to the local directory.
cd /path/to/my-app
bun link cool-pkg
In addition, the --save flag can be used to add cool-pkg to the dependencies field of your app's package.json with a special version specifier that tells Bun to load from the registered local directory instead of installing from npm:
{
"name": "my-app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dependencies": {
"cool-pkg": "link:cool-pkg" // [!code ++]
}
}
Unlinking
Use bun unlink in the root directory to unregister a local package.
cd /path/to/cool-pkg
bun unlink
bun unlink v1.3.3 (7416672e)
CLI Usage
bun link <packages>
