Fast and lightweight Npm [Registry](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/using-npm/registry) Manager, for the minimalists.  
Like [dnrm](https://github.com/markthree/dnrm), but in pure Node.js.

## Features

-   Super lightweight, pure Node.js with NO dependency
-   Fast, DO NOT parse the `.npmrc` file
-   Correct, follow the rules of the `.npmrc` file

## Install

```sh
# install the `nrml` command globally
npm install -g nrm-lite

# test if it's installed
nrml --help

# examples
nrml ls
nrml use taobao
nrml test
```

It is well-known that [Deno](https://deno.com/)'s cold start is faster than Node.js.  
Hence you can install `nrm-lite` in deno, so it will be as fast as `dnrm`.

```sh
# install `nrml` in deno
deno install -Afgr npm:nrm-lite -n nrml

# test if it's installed
nrml --help
```

## Usage

```sh
nrm-lite

Usage:
    nrml ls                List registries

```
