Aube

Product: Aube is a Node.js package manager written in Rust.
Automatic installs: The aubr command installs missing or stale dependencies before running a project script.
Lockfiles: Aube reads and writes supported pnpm, npm, Yarn, and Bun lockfiles in place.
Shared storage: Aube uses a content-addressable store and shares package directory trees across projects and worktrees.
One-off tools: The aubx command uses a local binary when available or installs a tool in a throwaway project.
Workspaces: Aube supports workspace packages, filters, and catalogs through pnpm-workspace.yaml or aube-workspace.yaml.
Node runtimes: Commands can use a project-pinned Node version from devEngines.runtime, .node-version, or .nvmrc.
Security defaults: Aube checks publishing evidence, release age, and known malicious packages during version selection.
Build permissions: Dependency lifecycle scripts require project approval or built-in trust, and explicit denies take precedence.
Integrity: With integrity verification enabled, Aube checks fetched registry tarballs against recorded integrity values and fails on mismatches.
Integrations: Aube provides embedding integrations for Rust, Node-API hosts, and C ABI consumers.
CI integration: The jdx/aube-action GitHub Action installs the native binary and optionally Node.js.
Support: The project directs users to GitHub Issues for bugs, GitHub Discussions for questions, and Discord for conversation.
Compatibility limit: Yarn Plug'n'Play projects are not supported and require a node_modules linker.
