npm:packages:why
Show why an npm package is installed.
$ npm-why ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "npm-why" is not a valid command in the npm package manager. However, assuming it is a custom command or script, the command "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the specific package that you want to retrieve information for. When executed, this command will likely provide information about why a certain package is being installed as a dependency, including the other packages that depend on it and the versions that are required.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
