Quick start

This takes about a minute once pkgr is installed.

1. Go to a project

Any directory with a package.json (with a scripts section), a deno.json or a deno.jsonc (with tasks):

cd my-project

2. Run pkgr

pkgr

The title tells you which manifest it read. Each row is a task name and the command behind it.

3. Choose

• ↑ / ↓ move the highlight.
• Type to narrow the list.
• Enter runs the highlighted task.
• Esc cancels and runs nothing.

When you press Enter, pkgr prints the exact command it is about to run, then runs it in the foreground:

> pnpm run dev

That line is copyable, so you can learn the real command and skip the picker next time.

What next

• Choosing a project to point pkgr at another folder.
• How pkgr picks the package manager.
• Keyboard reference.
• Troubleshooting if something looks wrong.
