bun why (like yarn why)

[nandorojo]

What is the problem this feature will solve?

I like using yarn why <package-name> to see what version I have and where it came from.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

bun why <package name>

What alternatives have you considered?

Switching from Bun to yarn as the package manager.

PS – wow this thing is fast. Mind blown.

no need to switching

i use npm why when install modules with bun and all works fine

Seems like a good alternative for now is to use: https://github.com/ranyitz/qnm

> bunx qnm mimic-fn

exmaple output:

As mentioned by @kravetsone , I'm using :

bunx npm why

or

bunx npm ls 

It works perfectly
