Qipi - Package Manager

🦉 Qipi is a blazing-fast, disk-efficient, and deterministic package manager for NodeJS. Written in Rust.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Blazing-fast:
  All fetching, downloading, unzipping, and linking operations are performed concurrently, making Qipi the fastest package manager for NodeJS. Up to 100 times faster than NPM! (see benchmarks)

• 💾 Disk-efficient:
  All packages are stored in a global cache, preventing duplicate downloads. For each project, a symlink to its cached location is created. Intelligent algorithms clean up unused packages.

• 🔒 Secure:
  Cryptographic signatures of packages are verified before installation, preventing interception or fraudulent downloads.

• ⛄ Deterministic:
  For security reasons, packages are stored in frozen versions to avoid conflicts between different versions. Each new installation uses the same version previously installed, ensuring consistency.

• 📂 Available registries:
  NPM and JSR registries are supported, with NPM set as the default.
