prepare and enable command is not documented #477

Closed coryzibell closed 4 months ago

coryzibell commented 4 months ago

corepack prepare package_manager@version

and

corepack prepare package_manager@version --activate

are both valid commands, seeing this output with the latest npm:

➜  ~ corepack prepare yarn@stable
Preparing yarn@stable...
➜  ~ corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate
Preparing yarn@stable for immediate activation...

However they are not mentioned in the README at all. How do they differ from corepack enable or corepack install -g or corepack use?

I'm happy to update the README with a PR, but I want to ensure the information is accurate and up to date

The documentation was removed in https://github.com/nodejs/corepack/pull/291, the old commands still work to not break users, but there are better alternatives now.

Ah that makes sense, thanks!
