There are a few package managers for Node.js projects and some of them provide advantages over others. Currently, we use yarn and we face some challenges, that may be solved by migrating to pnpm.

Clean up old projects
Sometimes folders like node_modules
consume too much space and then a small cleanup may be needed.
Npm in need of current Git version
Recently we were in the need to create (and host) an own npm module. Setting up a private repository with sinopia seemed like a bit too much work for hosting just a single npm package. So I decided to use the built-in functionality of npm to directly refer to a git repository in the package.json file. This worked fine on "my machine" but failed on my co-workers machine. It turned out that we were both using the same version of nodejs and npm but we were running different versions of git. I had a recent version of git running. My co-worker's git version was pretty old (1.7.x). I advised that we should upgrade git any try again. And guess what, after the upgrade npm install worked perfectly fine.
