\fBnpm-dedupe\fR \- Reduce duplication in the package tree
.SS Synopsis
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm dedupe
npm ddp

aliases: ddp
.fi
.RE
.SS Description
.P
Searches the local package tree and attempts to simplify the overall
structure by moving dependencies further up the tree, where they can
be more effectively shared by multiple dependent packages\.
.P
For example, consider this dependency graph:
.P
.RS 2
.nf
a
+\-\- b <\-\- depends on c@1\.0\.x
|   `\-\- c@1\.0\.3
`\-\- d <\-\- depends on c@~1\.0\.9
    `\-\- c@1\.0\.10
.fi
.RE
.P
In this case, \fBnpm dedupe\fP will transform the tree to:
.P
.RS 2
.nf
a
+\-\- b
+\-\- d
`\-\- c@1\.0\.10
.fi
.RE
.P
Because of the hierarchical nature of node's module lookup, b and d
will both get their dependency met by the single c package at the root
level of the tree\.
.P
In some cases, you may have a dependency graph like this:
.P
.RS 2
.nf
a
+\-\- b <\-\- depends on c@1\.0\.x
+\-\- c@1\.0\.3
`\-\- d <\-\- depends on c@1\.x
    `\-\- c@1\.9\.9
.fi
.RE
.P
During the installation process, the \fBc@1\.0\.3\fP dependency for \fBb\fP was
placed in the root of the tree\.  Though \fBd\fP\|'s dependency on \fBc@1\.x\fP could
have been satisfied by \fBc@1\.0\.3\fP, the newer \fBc@1\.9\.0\fP dependency was used,
because npm favors updates by default, even when doing so causes
duplication\.
.P
Running \fBnpm dedupe\fP will cause npm to note the duplication and
re\-evaluate, deleting the nested \fBc\fP module, because the one in the root is
sufficient\.
.P
To prefer deduplication over novelty during the installation process, run
\fBnpm install \-\-prefer\-dedupe\fP or \fBnpm config set prefer\-dedupe true\fP\|\.
.P
Arguments are ignored\. Dedupe always acts on the entire tree\.
.P
Note that this operation transforms the dependency tree, but will never
result in new modules being installed\.
.P
Using \fBnpm find\-dupes\fP will run the command in \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP mode\.

.P
Causes npm to install the package into your local \fBnode_modules\fP folder with
the same layout it uses with the global \fBnode_modules\fP folder\. Only your
direct dependencies will show in \fBnode_modules\fP and everything they depend
on will be flattened in their \fBnode_modules\fP folders\. This obviously will
eliminate some deduping\. If used with \fBlegacy\-bundling\fP, \fBlegacy\-bundling\fP
will be preferred\.

Causes npm to install the package such that versions of npm prior to 1\.4,
such as the one included with node 0\.8, can install the package\. This
eliminates all automatic deduping\. If used with \fBglobal\-style\fP this option
will be preferred\.

.RE
.P
If set to \fBtrue\fP, and \fB\-\-legacy\-peer\-deps\fP is not set, then \fIany\fR
conflicting \fBpeerDependencies\fP will be treated as an install failure, even
if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non\-peer
dependency relationships\.
.P
By default, conflicting \fBpeerDependencies\fP deep in the dependency graph will
be resolved using the nearest non\-peer dependency specification, even if
doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
the range set in their package's \fBpeerDependencies\fP object\.
.P
When such and override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
conflict and the packages involved\. If \fB\-\-strict\-peer\-deps\fP is set, then
this warning is treated as a failure\.

If set to false, then ignore \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP files when installing\. This

.P
When package package\-locks are disabled, automatic pruning of extraneous
modules will also be disabled\. To remove extraneous modules with
package\-locks disabled use \fBnpm prune\fP\|\.

Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk\.
.P
Note that these dependencies \fIare\fR still resolved and added to the
\fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP or \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP file\. They are just not
physically installed on disk\.
.P
If a package type appears in both the \fB\-\-include\fP and \fB\-\-omit\fP lists, then
it will be included\.
.P
If the resulting omit list includes \fB\|'dev'\fP, then the \fBNODE_ENV\fP environment
variable will be set to \fB\|'production'\fP for all lifecycle scripts\.

Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
only report what it would have done\. This can be passed into any of the
commands that modify your local installation, eg, \fBinstall\fP, \fBupdate\fP,
\fBdedupe\fP, \fBuninstall\fP, as well as \fBpack\fP and \fBpublish\fP\|\.

Workspace names

Path to a workspace directory
.IP \(bu 2
Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)

When set for the \fBnpm init\fP command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a

Set to true to run the command in the context of \fBall\fR configured

Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like \fBinstall\fP to
ignore workspaces altogether\. When not set explicitly:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 2
Commands that operate on the \fBnode_modules\fP tree (install, update, etc\.)
will link workspaces into the \fBnode_modules\fP folder\. \- Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc\.) will operate on the root project,
\fIunless\fR one or more workspaces are specified in the \fBworkspace\fP config\.

Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command\.

When false, specifying individual workspaces via the \fBworkspace\fP config, or
