Minor Changes

• Added interactive group selection to pnpm update --global --interactive.

• Running pnpm setup, pnpm self-update, or a command that modifies the global installation (such as pnpm add --global) through sudo now prints a warning. pnpm keeps global packages and configuration in the invoking user's home directory, so running these commands as root silently operates on the root user's home directory instead of yours. They will fail with ERR_PNPM_SUDO_NOT_SUPPORTED in pnpm v12. Read-only global commands (such as pnpm bin --global) are unaffected.

Patch Changes

• Fixed pnpm failing to start under asynchronous Node.js module loaders when no .pnpmfile.mjs exists pnpm/pnpm#11701.

• Fixed minimumReleaseAge fallback for custom dist-tags so the selected version does not exceed the registry’s original tag target.

• Removing a dependency from package.json and reinstalling no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. The importer's entry is dropped from pnpm-lock.yaml, anything it made unreachable is pruned, and a catalog entry that loses its last referent is removed — all without registry access. Installs still fall back to a full resolution when a package that stays resolves a peer dependency through the removed one, since that would change the surviving package's entry rather than only prune.

• Changing a catalog entry to a different exact version no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. The package is replaced in pnpm-lock.yaml directly, reusing the same check the pnpm.overrides fast path applies: every locked dependency of the package must still satisfy the new version's manifest. Installs fall back to a full resolution when anything other than the catalog reaches the package — an importer that depends on it directly, or another package that depends on it — since the graph would then need both versions.

• Fixed a CI regression where github:owner/repo dependencies (and other shorthand Git specifiers) would fail to install with Permission denied (publickey) on CI runners that lack SSH keys. The Git resolver no longer records an SSH URL unless the user explicitly wrote one (e.g. git+ssh:// or git@host:...):

  • The repository visibility probe (an HTTP HEAD request) now retries transient failures such as 429 Too Many Requests, so host throttling of CI runners is no longer mistaken for a private repository.
  • For non-SSH specifiers, anonymous HTTPS git ls-remote access is now tried before SSH, so a public repository whose visibility probe fails still resolves to a portable HTTPS URL instead of an SSH URL that only works where SSH keys are configured.
  • When every probe fails, the resolver falls back to HTTPS for shorthand and HTTPS-style specifiers, and only guesses SSH when the user explicitly provided an SSH URL.
  • A repository that could not be confirmed public is no longer resolved to the host's anonymous archive URL (e.g. codeload.github.com, which would fail to download for a private repository); it stays a regular git resolution so installs can use ambient Git credentials such as credential helpers and tokens.

  Note that a private repository that is reachable both over authenticated HTTPS and over SSH now resolves to its HTTPS URL, where previous versions recorded the SSH URL.

  Fixes pnpm/pnpm#13276.

• ng build and nuxt build now work under the global virtual store: pnpm's built-in compatibility extensions add the tslib dependency that @angular/build uses without declaring and the unplugin dependency that @nuxt/vite-builder v4 uses without declaring.

• Fixed link: dependencies under enableGlobalVirtualStore so linked children are materialized and slots remain isolated by their resolved link targets.

• An install that skips resolution because pnpm-lock.yaml is already up to date now reacts fully to packages the lockfile removed — for example after pulling a lockfile in which a dependency was deleted. The hoist layer is recomputed, so a package that became hoistable when a direct dependency was removed is hoisted, and pendingBuilds entries for removed packages are dropped instead of staying pending forever.

• The held-back-update warning printed by pnpm update no longer fires when minimumReleaseAge is the actual reason a newer version was not picked. The warning's baseline now applies the same maturity cutoff as the pick itself, so it no longer wrongly attributes the hold-back to "your manifests and already installed dependencies" or recommends an override that would defeat the age gate. See #​13071.

• Checking whether ignoredOptionalDependencies is up to date no longer reorders the configured patterns. The check sorted them in place, which could move an ! exclusion ahead of the pattern it excludes from and flip which optional dependencies were ignored.

• Changing autoInstallPeers, dedupePeers, peersSuffixMaxLength, excludeLinksFromLockfile, or injectWorkspacePackages no longer re-resolves the dependency graph when the lockfile proves the setting cannot affect it: no package or project declares a peer dependency for the peer settings, and no project depends on a directory or on another workspace project for the link and injection settings. The new setting is recorded in pnpm-lock.yaml and the install proceeds from the existing resolution. Every other case still falls back to a full resolution.

• Adding, editing, or removing an entry in patchedDependencies no longer re-resolves the dependency graph. Resolution never reads a patch — it only records the patch file's hash against the package it matches — so the install now rewrites the affected entries in pnpm-lock.yaml and materializes the patched package from the store instead. Installs still fall back to a full resolution when the patched package is reachable as a peer dependency, and when the new configuration would leave a patch unused while allowUnusedPatches is off, so ERR_PNPM_UNUSED_PATCH is still reported.

• Resolving a private git repository no longer blocks on an interactive credential prompt: git ls-remote now fails fast with an authentication error when git has no credentials for the repository #​13522.

• Lockfile verification now honors offline mode by using cached registry metadata instead of reaching the registry. When the required metadata is not available locally, verification reports the same ERR_PNPM_NO_OFFLINE_META condition used by offline resolution.

• POSIX shell shims now follow symbolic links before computing basedir, preventing execution failures when a shim is invoked via an external symlink on PATH #​13405.

• The automatic packageManager version switch works again on registries whose tarball URLs point at a different host than the registry itself (load-balanced feed proxies, Artifactory-style mirrors). Package-manager entries are now always recorded with integrity-only resolutions — the download URL is derived from the trusted bootstrap registry instead — and entries persisted in an invalid shape by an earlier pnpm are discarded and re-resolved instead of failing every command #​13619.

• Registries that serve no npm signature metadata (private mirrors and feed proxies commonly strip dist.signatures) no longer break the automatic packageManager version switch and pnpm self-update #​13147. When the configured registry cannot provide a verifiable signature, pnpm now fetches the signature from registry.npmjs.org and verifies it against the same embedded npm keys over the installed integrity — which proves exactly the same thing. If no signature can be obtained from either source (for example, both are unreachable, or the registry publishes only a shasum), pnpm proceeds with a warning instead of failing, but only when the packages resolve through a registry configured in the user's own (non-project) configuration; the download stays pinned by the lockfile integrity, and a signature that exists but does not validate still fails the switch.

• pnpm fetch, and any install run with virtualStoreOnly, no longer writes a .pnp.cjs loader under nodeLinker: pnp. These installs populate the virtual store without linking the project, so the loader would have claimed the project resolves out of a store it was never linked into. The importer links and node_modules/.package-map.json were already skipped; the PnP loader now follows the same rule.

• Prevent pnpm from removing project files when modulesDir resolves to the project root.

• Speed up installs after adding ignoredOptionalDependencies patterns by removing newly ignored optional dependencies and pruning packages that are no longer reachable without resolving the dependency graph again.

• When a failed install re-copies a bin script from the store, rerunning pnpm install now reapplies the executable bit to the bin instead of leaving it non-executable #​12742.

• pnpm root -g and pnpm bin -g now print warnings to stderr instead of stdout, so their stdout stays a clean, machine-readable path. Previously, running either command with --global in a project that pins a package manager (e.g. via the packageManager field) printed a warning like [WARN] Using --global skips the package manager check for this project ahead of the path, breaking programs that capture the output as a path #​13672.

  In pnpm 12, pnpm root -g and pnpm prefix -g are now supported (they previously failed with ERR_PNPM_CLI_ROOT_GLOBAL_UNSUPPORTED / ERR_PNPM_CLI_PREFIX_GLOBAL_UNSUPPORTED), and the reporter output of dlx, create, config, sbom, with, store, prefix, root, and bin goes to stderr, matching pnpm 11.

• pnpm setup no longer makes Node.js print a MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON warning about dist/worker.js on every command. The package.json it writes next to a standalone executable now declares "type": "module".

• pnpm update without saving no longer records a version that the manifest's range excludes. The kept range stays authoritative: a requested version outside it is skipped with a warning, and a requested range, a dist tag, or --latest resolves within it instead of past it. Previously each of these could write a lockfile entry that contradicted its own specifier, which the next pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejected with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE #​12764.

• pnpm version -r --json now outputs [] instead of human-readable text when no pending changes exist pnpm/pnpm#13217.

v11.20.0: pnpm 11.20

Compare Source

Minor Changes

• Security fix. Affects projects using namedRegistries on pnpm 11.1.0–11.19.x. It is semi-breaking for those projects — see "If you use named registries" below.

  The lockfile recorded no marker for which registry a package came from. Packages were keyed by name@version alone, and entry lookup went through refToRelative(ref, name), so a dependency you declared against one registry could be satisfied by an entry that was actually resolved from another. When two registries served the same name and version, both collapsed onto a single packages: entry and whichever resolved first decided the tarball every consumer got.

  That is a package-substitution risk: a package you expect from your private registry could be installed from a different registry that publishes the same name and version, and the lockfile recorded nothing that would let you tell.

  Packages resolved from a named registry are now recorded under registry-qualified keys (<name>@<registryName>:<version>, e.g. foo@work:1.0.0), so each registry gets its own entry and the lockfile pins which one a dependency came from.

  The lockfile format version is unchanged. Registry-qualified keys appear only for packages resolved from a named registry, so a project that does not use namedRegistries sees no difference, and older pnpm versions keep reading the file.

If you use named registries

Your next non-frozen install re-keys those entries, which shows up as a lockfile diff. Commit it — that diff is the fix being applied. Review it: an entry that moves to a registry you did not expect is worth investigating.

Everyone working on the project should be on this version or newer before you do. An older pnpm reads the re-keyed lockfile fine — frozen installs are unaffected — but it does not produce registry-qualified keys itself, so any install that updates the lockfile writes those entries back to the old shape, and the next install on a current pnpm re-qualifies them. The result is a lockfile that flips back and forth, and while it is in the old shape the project is exposed again. Because the lockfile format version is deliberately unchanged, pnpm cannot detect this and warn you about it.

There is no setting to keep the old behavior: the old shape is the vulnerability.

Tarball URLs that follow the standard registry layout are no longer written to the lockfile for named-registry packages; they are recomputed from the namedRegistries setting on demand.

To use named registries, map your aliases in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

namedRegistries:
  work: https://npm.enterprise.example.com/

New built-in npmjs: alias

npmjs: now resolves to https://registry.npmjs.org/ with no configuration, alongside the existing gh: alias for GitHub Packages. It pins a dependency to the public registry even when registry points elsewhere, such as an internal proxy:

{ "dependencies": { "left-pad": "npmjs:^1.3.0" } }

npm: cannot do this — it is the alias protocol (npm:<name>@<range>) and resolves through whatever registry points at.

If you mirror or proxy npmjs, point the alias at your mirror:

namedRegistries:
  npmjs: https://npm.internal.example.com/

Built-in registry URLs are also the prefixes a lockfile's recorded tarball URL is matched against when pnpm verifies a package. Without the override, an entry whose tarball URL is on registry.npmjs.org is verified against the public registry rather than your mirror. This only affects lockfiles that record such URLs — a canonical URL for your configured registry is omitted from the lockfile and unaffected — and only when a tarball-URL, minimumReleaseAge, or trustPolicy check runs. Overriding the alias is the same escape hatch GHES users already have for gh.

Every alias the lockfile references must stay in namedRegistries: reading an entry whose alias is gone fails with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_NAMED_REGISTRY rather than silently falling back to the default registry, since that would fetch a different package. Renaming an alias re-resolves the packages that used it.

Named registry aliases that shadow a reserved dependency specifier prefix (file, link, workspace, runtime, npm, jsr, ...) are now rejected with ERR_PNPM_RESERVED_NAMED_REGISTRY_NAME instead of being silently shadowed by the corresponding resolver.

pnpm licenses and pnpm sbom now keep the two artifacts apart as well: license records carry the registry alias, and SBOM components carry the purl repository_url qualifier.

Patch Changes

• An empty http-proxy, https-proxy, proxy, or no-proxy value — from the .npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, the CLI, or the HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / PROXY / NO_PROXY environment variables — no longer fails the install with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_PROXY. Empty settings read as unset, so a shell exporting HTTP_PROXY= disables the proxy, and an empty proxy= in the .npmrc no longer suppresses HTTPS_PROXY #​13533.

  proxy=false in the .npmrc or proxy: false in pnpm-workspace.yaml now turns proxying off instead of being read as a proxy host named false. false and null on https-proxy / http-proxy / no-proxy read as unset, and on the command line they are ordinary host names, since a flag carries its value verbatim.

• The env lockfile no longer pins @pnpm/exe alongside pnpm when the wanted pnpm version is 12 or newer. From v12 the unscoped pnpm package is itself the native executable, so @pnpm/exe is not published for it and resolving it would fail. The engine identity check now verifies the native binary through whichever package ships it.

• lexCompare and nerfDart are now published as @pnpm/text.ordinal-comparator and @pnpm/config.registry-auth-key. Use these instead of @pnpm/util.lex-comparator and @pnpm/config.nerf-dart.

• Fixed the order in which pnpm matches a lockfile's recorded tarball URL against known registry URLs. Two registry URLs of equal length were previously ordered arbitrarily, so which one a tarball URL matched could differ between runs.

• Dependency resolution is faster: package metadata is now filtered once per packument instead of once per dependency edge when minimumReleaseAge is active, and parsed semver versions and ranges are reused instead of re-parsed on every comparison.

• Security: pnpm rebuild now refuses a lockfile whose packages key carries a path traversal in the package name (e.g. ../../../escaped@1.0.0), instead of running that package's lifecycle scripts and linking its bins in a directory outside the virtual store. Such a name is rejected with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME.
