Lazynpm is a terminal user interface (TUI) for working with npm (Node.js package manager) commands, written in Go using the gocui library. It is designed for developers who find themselves doing repetitive npm workflows — linking, building dependencies, installing, and so on — and want a simplified interface rather than remembering or typing long sequences of npm commands. The UI offers keybindings and visual feedback so you can navigate dependencies, install packages, run scripts, and link modules in a more interactive way. It is inspired by Duffield’s other tools (such as lazygit and lazydocker) in giving “the lazier way” to manage terminal workflows. While it supports Unix environments (macOS/Linux), it is noted that it is not compatible with Windows due to one of its dependencies (pty) being incompatible with Windows. The project is open-source under the MIT license, and provides installation via Homebrew or Go install.

Features

  • Terminal UI for npm workflows (install, build, link)
  • Keybindings for each common action to minimise typing
  • Visual tree-view or interactive view of dependencies and links
  • Built with Go and gocui, meaning lightweight binary deployment
  • Supports macOS and Linux, with package manager installation (Homebrew)
  • Focus on eliminating repetitive “cd, npm install, npm link, build” workflows
