About:
Orogene is a next-generation package manager designed specifically for Node.js projects, focusing on speed and reliability. It serves as a drop-in replacement for npm, leveraging the `nassun` library to efficiently resolve and install dependencies. Its primary value proposition is delivering significantly faster installation times and robust offline capabilities.

Key Features:

High-performance dependency resolution and installation
Drop-in replacement for npm with compatible commands
Robust offline mode for installing from local caches
Built in Rust for memory safety and concurrency

Use Cases:

Accelerating CI/CD pipelines for Node.js applications
Managing dependencies in large-scale monorepos
Performing reliable offline installations in restricted environments

Alternatives:

npm – The default Node.js package manager; Orogene aims for significantly faster performance while maintaining compatibility.
pnpm – Known for efficient disk space usage via content-addressable storage; Orogene focuses primarily on raw installation speed.
yarn – Offers workspaces and plugin systems; Orogene provides a simpler, performance-focused alternative.
