Which package manager?

A GitHub action that will quickly return which node.js package manager the current repo is using.

I threw this together to stick between actions/checkout and actions/setup-node in a workflow I am using to tell actions/setup-node which cache method to use.

No inputs are required. This will return the name of the package manager (npm, pnpm or yarn) to the output value package_manager.

Example usage

name: Run Linter
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
jobs:
  lint:
    name: Run Linter
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}

          cache: ${{ steps.pkgman.outputs.package_manager }} # This references the output value

      - name: Install dependencies
        if: ${{ success() }}
        uses: jaid/action-npm-install@v1.2.4
        with:

      - name: Run lint step

        run: ${{ steps.pkgman.outputs.package_manager }} run lint
