pnpm pm

The pnpm pm <command> syntax always runs the built-in pnpm command, bypassing any same-named script in package.json.

Some built-in commands can be overridden by scripts. For example, if your project defines a "clean" script in package.json, then pnpm clean runs that script instead of the built-in pnpm clean. Using pnpm pm clean forces the built-in command to run.

Example

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rm -rf dist"
  }
}

# Runs the "clean" script from package.json
pnpm clean
# or explicitly:
pnpm run clean

# Runs the built-in pnpm clean command (removes node_modules)
pnpm pm clean
