`bun ci` as an alias of `bun install --frozen-lockfile`

[Pandapip1]

What is the problem this feature would solve?

NPM has a command, npm ci, that installs the exact packages in the lockfile for reproducible builds. Bun's command, bun install --frozen-lockfile, is much more verbose.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

A new subcommand, bun ci, which is just an alias for bun install --frozen-lockfile.

What alternatives have you considered?

bun install could do a clean install by default.

I believe this already exists in Bun as an option:

bun install --frozen-lockfile

From the docs:

To install with reproducible dependencies, use --frozen-lockfile. If your package.json disagrees with bun.lockb, Bun will exit with an error. This is useful for production builds and CI environments.

Could you make bun ci an alias of that, since I wasn't easily able to find that subcommand and it's one that would see really common use?

im getting error

error: lockfile had changes, but lockfile is frozen

when trying to execute it in my github actions like this - run: bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build

That would happen with npm ci too - both fail with an error if your lockfile doesn't match package.json.

Lots of CI scripts already use npm ci, of course bun has flag, but I'm sure that change npm to bun will be more clear for non JS developers or DevOpsers. Moreover, bun already do it for other npm commands.
