Unravelling this #Hacktobersfest10 Yarn

13 October 2023

I'm kind of now exploring packages and just going off track. And realising that most of the js in repos that I did not understand is probably node.js.
And then now I just discovered that all the .yml extensions have to do with yarn or its alternative npm and maybe others.
I have discovered package managers too inadvertently.
I have discovered dependencies.
How important are dependencies ?
How to use them and why to use them?

And the rabbit hole today leads me to figure out more about package managers.
I don't remember how I got to try yarn in the place of npm. It might have been because of an article that I read that mentioned npm and yarn together a long time ago.
And today I remembered that I could not install npm. So yarn came to mind and then I went into the rabbit hole.

I am studying package managers and trying to understand their importance and trying to figure them out .
How and what importance are package managers?
And how to use them?
How to put them to use or approach when trying to get into using and understanding a repo.?

This all started because I'm trying to figure out why there is so many files with so many different extensions in the repos.

I have not learnt anything much yet at all but I am just discovering and finding shelf space in my head for all this knowledge.

I still do not understand what the dependencies do exactly and why they got to ruin my js github nooby #hacktober10 experience.

But I'm learning and I guess I'm contributing.
Thanx #HacktoberFest.
