Bret Comnes @bret.io · 28/04/2026I tried this out again recently. It’s a cool feature but it requires EVERY dep to be exceeding well behaved and defined. It also relies on NODE_PATH and has weird issues with esm. Unfortunately something like this needs a runtime solution to work generally. 020

Reposted by Bret Comnespatak @patak.cat · 10/04/2026@pnpm.io's experimental global virtual store is brilliant. The install performance gains are a game-changer for git flows. You get near-zero per-worktree overhead and instant installs for new worktrees as packages are already in the global store. @kochan.io can't stop making pnpm better 🤌 512110
