Zoltan Kochan 11c8cd04c2 docs(shared-store): suggest to use the store-path config key
npm has a dash convention not an underscore convention, so better to use store-path instead of store_path, even though, pnpm can work with both.

# Shared store
**Disclaimer!** This will work only on Node.js >= v6.3.0, because it uses the `--preserve-symlinks` option (read more about it: [nodejs/node#3402](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3402)).
By default, `pnpm` creates a separate store for every package in it's `node_modules` folder. However, it is possible to change the value of the `store-path` config key and force `pnpm` to use a shared storage.
The easiest way to do it is via the command line:
```sh
pnpm config set store-path ~/.store
```
A shared storage can save tons of space!
