The bun pm command group is a set of utilities for working with Bun’s package manager.

​
pack

To create a tarball of the current workspace:
terminal
bun pm pack creates a .tgz file containing all files that would be published to npm, following the same rules as npm pack.

​
Examples

Basic usage:
terminal
Quiet mode for scripting:
terminal
Custom destination:
terminal

​
Options

  • --dry-run: Perform all tasks except writing the tarball to disk. Shows what would be included.
  • --destination <dir>: The directory to save the tarball in.
  • --filename <name>: An exact file name for the tarball.
  • --ignore-scripts: Skip running pre/postpack and prepare scripts.
  • --gzip-level <0-9>: Set the gzip compression level, from 0 to 9 (default 9).
  • --quiet: Print only the tarball filename, suppressing the rest of the output. Useful in scripts.
Note: --filename and --destination cannot be used at the same time.
