Add a big warning on project description about limitations when installing specific packages #9

Closed aalexgabi closed 3 years ago

aalexgabi commented 4 years ago

use-yarn does not work in all cases. For example when installing a specific package: npm install lodash. I think this should be clearly stated on the project landing page as it's one of the main ways to get yarn.lock out of sync with the node_modules folder.

If run from npm instead of yarn, the process will exit with error code 1 and print an error message.

Currently this is stated in the description. It would be more accurate to specifically mention npm install (without a package name)

@aalexgabi Good call! Completed in #14. May not publish the docs site immediately.
