packvault sync

The sync command is the core of PackVault. It downloads and caches packages and their entire dependency graphs into your local vault so they can be installed offline later.

Note: You must have an active internet connection to run this command.

Usage

packvault sync <package1> [package2...] [options]

Examples

Sync specific packages

packvault sync react vite tailwindcss

Sync from a lockfile

Automatically reads package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or pnpm-lock.yaml in the current directory and caches all resolved dependencies.

packvault sync --from-lockfile

You can also specify the path to a specific lockfile:

packvault sync --from-lockfile ./path/to/package-lock.json

Increase concurrency

Speed up the sync process by increasing the number of concurrent downloads (default is usually 5 or 10):

packvault sync react vite --concurrency 20

Private registries

You can sync from custom or private registries by passing the --registry flag, and authenticate with --token:

packvault sync my-private-pkg --registry https://npm.mycompany.com --token $NPM_TOKEN
