Simple utility to transfer packages from your dependencies or devDependencies lists into new project.

## Install

```

npm install -g package-transfer

```

## Usage

```

pkg-transfer [options]

```

Transfer dependencies from `old-project` to current project (`my-new-project`):

```

cd my-new-project

pkg-transfer -s ../old-project

```

The command detects which packages need to be transferred and offers to auto install them into target package.

This command does exactly the same thing only for devDependencies:

```

pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --dev

```

If you prefer `yarn` over `npm`:

```

pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --yarn

```

## Strict mode

Most of the time you are locking your package.json dependencies to exact version. If you wish to transfer those exact versions to target package.json then just use `--strict` argument.

```

pkg-transfer -s ../my-project --strict

```

## Help

Usage: pkg-transfer [options]

Options:


  -v, --version              **Print version**


  --verbose                  **Increase logging verbosity**


  -h, --help                 **Output help and usage information**


  -s, --source               **Source package (from where you want to transfer dependencies)**


  -t, --target               **Target package (defaults to current directory)**


  --yarn                     **Use yarn instead of npm**


  --dev                      **Transfer devDependencies**


  --dry-run                  **Just prints install command, does NOT really install anything**


  --strict                   **Use exact versions from source package.json when installing dependencies**
