In their own words
manypkg
manypkg is a command-line linter for package.json files in Yarn, npm, pnpm, Bun, and Lerna monorepos. It checks consistency across packages, including matching external dependency ranges, internal dependency ranges that include the referenced package version, and alphabetical ordering of dependencies. Other checks cover peer and development dependency relationships, root production dependencies, duplicate dependency types, package names, and repository fields. The `manypkg check` command runs repository checks, logs errors, and exits with a code. When a problem can be corrected automatically, `manypkg fix` can apply a fix. The CLI also runs package scripts with `manypkg run`, selecting a package by partial name or directory, and runs a command across packages with `manypkg exec`. The root package.json can configure ignored rules, the default branch, and workspace protocol behavior; the protocol setting defaults to `allow`. Installation is documented with `yarn add @manypkg/cli`. The tool is free and licensed under MIT. Thinkmill is its maker, based in Sydney, Australia; listed platforms are Linux, macOS, and Windows.
