Does this use symlinks to a single copy of each dependency?

  A single copy of each required version of each dependency.

    So is that a yes? Or does it still pull a copy for each projects local node_modules?

      As you can see at the URL in sibling, pnpm maintains a private area where everything is stored. Everything in a local (or "global", really) node_modules tree is a link to the private store.

  Not symlinks. Hard links. Or copy-on-write on systems that support them.

    [EDIT: (thanks ttybird2! b^)] We might need to change the following diagram? https://pnpm.io/motivation https://pnpm.io/motivation It appears to show several symlinks? Thanks for pnpm!
