Yarn Cheat Sheet
Yarn is a cli-based package manager developed by Facebook. You can install it by using npm, which is kind of comical when you think about it:
npm i -g yarn
Here are a bunch of how-to scripts to handle common situations:
INSTALL
Install all items within the package.json or install an individual package into the npm repo.

yarn install

yarn add antd
yarn add [email protected]
yarn add antd@latest
-- add to devDependencies
yarn add -D
-- install from a github repo
yarn add package@github:owner/repo
-- install a global package
yarn global add
USAGE
Once it's installed, you can run the program by using:
