About:
Corepack is a zero-installs package manager wrapper that ships with Node.js. It automatically delegates package management commands (like yarn, pnpm, npm) to the version specified in a project's package.json. This ensures consistent builds and eliminates version mismatches across different developer environments.

Key Features:

Zero-installs approach requiring no manual setup
Automatic version switching based on project lockfiles
Supports Yarn, pnpm, and npm out of the box
Ships bundled with Node.js distributions

Use Cases:

Enforcing consistent package manager versions across development teams
Simplifying CI/CD pipelines by removing manual tool installation steps
Managing multiple Node.js projects with different dependency managers

Alternatives:

npm – Corepack wraps npm and other managers rather than replacing them entirely
nvm – nvm manages Node.js versions while Corepack manages package manager versions
