Happy Hacktoberfest 🎃👻🦇

SWPM is already looking for people who would like to participate, adding more unit test to functions inside the helpers folder.

About

When switching between JavaScript projects, it's often easy to forget which package manager should be used. JavaScript package managers aren't quite compatible either and each one resolves dependencies differently, so accidentally installing with npm could cause a yarn (classic or berry), pnpm or bun project to break.

swpm is a CLI that intends to solve this problem by unifying the most used commands for the most common Node Package Managers into one. It will recognize the Package Manager used on the project and automatically will translate those commands.

This is an example of how #swpm works. The same command, no matter the package manager used on the project.

Note:
We will start with most used command, then other commands will be added gradually.
Track the command progress implementation on CHEATSHEET.

Hello everyone, hope your Hacktoberfest is going well 🎃

Here is an other project looking for help if you need more PRs: github.com/rocambille/elo

This package allows to add rating between objects using Elo system. It is designed to add Elo properties, while preserving existing ones. So it is compatible with every objects, wherever they come from (e.g. I use it to rate my favorite movies and board games, after retrieving the data from APIs). Check the issues to know how to help, or feel free to propose any amazing idea 😉

Hey everyone, I've put up a really simple website - and I'd like to welcome first time contributors and beginners to help build it out. You can run and test it locally, so no risk of doing any permanent damage. Add something to it, make it beautiful and accessible if you can - and I'll accept the commits. Be explicit in your commits to say what you intend to do with your code - easier for me to approve and easier for other newbies to learn from your edits:
