TLDR: run npx detect-package-changes install in the root folder of the project
Requires npm, git and a bash-compatible shell, including WSL.
Checks if your package-lock.json dependencies versions match the actual files in you node_module folder after you checkout or pull (merge) branches.
For performance reasons only top-level dependencies in package.json are checked. Versions between package.json and package-lock.json files are also not checked as npm install should take care of this consistency.
Run npx detect-package-changes install in the root folder of the project. To remove, run npx detect-package-changes uninstall.
After installation you should get a warning message when checking out branches and a version mismatch is detected. This package does not update or modify any project-related files. Note, however, that this project does modify git hooks.
npx detect-package-changes <command> <args>
command:
install (default): insert the checks into git hooks
uninstall: remove the inserted checks from git hooks
check: manually run the check (you probably don't need to use this)
help: see this message
args:
--verbose: enables debug messages that might help in error investigations
--hooks=<comma-separated list of git hooks>: add the checks to these specific hooks. Default is --hooks=post-checkout,post-merge,post-rebase
--folder=<folder>: the root folder of the project to add the checks to (this is generally auto-detected correctly but you may override it here)
