pnpm set-script

Aliases: ss

Adds or updates an entry in the scripts field of the project manifest.

pnpm set-script <name> <command>...

The arguments after the script name are joined with spaces to form the command, so pnpm set-script test vitest run also works without quotes. A missing name or command fails with ERR_PNPM_SET_SCRIPT_MISSING_ARGS.

Supports package.json, package.json5, and package.yaml manifest formats.

If the scripts field does not exist, it is created. If a script with the same name already exists, it is overwritten.

Examples#

pnpm set-script test "vitest run"
pnpm set-script build "tsc -p ."
pnpm ss lint "eslint ."

The above is equivalent to manually editing package.json:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "vitest run",
    "build": "tsc -p .",
    "lint": "eslint ."
  }
}

pnpm set-script
