## Summary Rename all internal packages so their npm names follow the `@pnpm/<domain>.<leaf>` convention, matching their directory structure. Also rename directories to remove redundancy and improve clarity. ### Bulk rename (94 packages) All `@pnpm/` packages now derive their name from their directory path using dot-separated segments. Exceptions: `packages/`, `__utils__/`, and `pnpm/artifacts/` keep leaf names only. ### Directory renames (removing redundant prefixes) - `cli/cli-meta` → `cli/meta`, `cli/cli-utils` → `cli/utils` - `config/config` → `config/reader`, `config/config-writer` → `config/writer` - `fetching/fetching-types` → `fetching/types` - `lockfile/lockfile-to-pnp` → `lockfile/to-pnp` - `store/store-connection-manager` → `store/connection-manager` - `store/store-controller-types` → `store/controller-types` - `store/store-path` → `store/path` ### Targeted renames (clarity improvements) - `deps/dependency-path` → `deps/path` (`@pnpm/deps.path`) - `deps/calc-dep-state` → `deps/graph-hasher` (`@pnpm/deps.graph-hasher`) - `deps/inspection/dependencies-hierarchy` → `deps/inspection/tree-builder` (`@pnpm/deps.inspection.tree-builder`) - `bins/link-bins` → `bins/linker`, `bins/remove-bins` → `bins/remover`, `bins/package-bins` → `bins/resolver` - `installing/get-context` → `installing/context` - `store/package-store` → `store/controller` - `pkg-manifest/manifest-utils` → `pkg-manifest/utils` ### Manifest reader/writer renames - `workspace/read-project-manifest` → `workspace/project-manifest-reader` (`@pnpm/workspace.project-manifest-reader`) - `workspace/write-project-manifest` → `workspace/project-manifest-writer` (`@pnpm/workspace.project-manifest-writer`) - `workspace/read-manifest` → `workspace/workspace-manifest-reader` (`@pnpm/workspace.workspace-manifest-reader`) - `workspace/manifest-writer` → `workspace/workspace-manifest-writer` (`@pnpm/workspace.workspace-manifest-writer`) ### Workspace package renames - `workspace/find-packages` → `workspace/projects-reader` - `workspace/find-workspace-dir` → `workspace/root-finder` - `workspace/resolve-workspace-range` → `workspace/range-resolver` - `workspace/filter-packages-from-dir` merged into `workspace/filter-workspace-packages` → `workspace/projects-filter` ### Domain moves - `pkg-manifest/read-project-manifest` → `workspace/project-manifest-reader` - `pkg-manifest/write-project-manifest` → `workspace/project-manifest-writer` - `pkg-manifest/exportable-manifest` → `releasing/exportable-manifest` ### Scope - 1206 files changed - Updated: package.json names/deps, TypeScript imports, tsconfig references, changeset files, renovate.json, test fixtures, import ordering

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:
- Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
- Efficient. Files inside
node_modulesare linked from a single content-addressable storage. - Great for monorepos.
- Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its
package.json. - Deterministic. Has a lockfile called
pnpm-lock.yaml. - Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm env use.
- Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
- See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.
To quote the Rush team:
Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and we’ve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background
pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:
- If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store.
If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files,
pnpm updatewill only add 1 new file to the storage. - All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).
As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations!

why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
