clean_node

This script will delete the node_modules and .turbo directories, and lock files (package-lock.json/pnpm-lock.yaml/yarn.lock) in the given directory ($PWD if not given).

This is useful to get a clean slate after dependency updates.

The following parameters are optional:

k: keep lock files (package-lock.json/pnpm-lock.yaml/yarn.lock)
r: recursively delete files
t: keep .turbo directories

Copy the script into your Node.js project and add it as a custom script to your package.json file:

package.json

{
...
  "scripts": {
    "clean:node": "scripts/clean_node.sh"
  }
}

$ node --run clean:node && npm install
$ node --run clean:node && pnpm install
$ node --run clean:node && yarn install
