Why I Built bunpm: Route npm, yarn & pnpm Through Bun Without Touching Your Scripts

Description and use

bunpm is a CLI wrapper that routes npm, yarn, and pnpm commands through Bun, delivering faster installs while keeping existing workflows intact.

JavaScript developers face slow package installs with npm/yarn/pnpm, yet muscle memory and legacy CI/CD scripts lock them into those commands.

bunpm delivers a 100% compatible wrapper that speeds up installs by using Bun while preserving existing workflows and CI scripts.

Install bunpm via git clone and platform‑specific install script
Run bunpm doctor to verify setup
Type legacy commands such as npm install or yarn add – bunpm translates them to Bun commands

When you type: npm install ➔ translates directly to bun install
