11 Description
12 For anything that's installable (that is, a package folder, tarball,
13 tarball url, name@tag, name@version, name, or scoped name), this com‐
14 mand will fetch it to the cache, and then copy the tarball to the cur‐
15 rent working directory as <name>-<version>.tgz, and then write the
16 filenames out to stdout.
17
18 If the same package is specified multiple times, then the file will be
19 overwritten the second time.
20
21 If no arguments are supplied, then npm packs the current package
22 folder.
23
24 The --dry-run argument will do everything that pack usually does with‐
25 out actually packing anything. Reports on what would have gone into the
26 tarball.
