Shell hack to fix annoying pnpm auto-project creation

[matthewjosephtaylor]

pnpm() {
  if [[ ! -f package.json ]]; then
    echo "🛑 No package.json in this directory. Aborting pnpm command: pnpm $*"
    return 1
  fi

  command pnpm "$@"
}

Personally it is always a mistake if I run a pnpm command in a non-project directory. I hate having to have to clean up the 'junk' pakcage.json, and node_modules afterwards.

If there is a better way to do this I'd love to know, but for now this works. :)

Both npm and yarn seem to behave the same way. I don't have a strong opinion about this.
