<h1><a href="../cli/npm-dedupe.html">npm-dedupe</a></h1> <p>Reduce duplication</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm dedupe [package names...]
npm ddp [package names...]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Searches the local package tree and attempts to simplify the overall
structure by moving dependencies further up the tree, where they can
be more effectively shared by multiple dependent packages.</p>
<p>For example, consider this dependency graph:</p>
<pre><code>a
+-- b &lt;-- depends on c@1.0.x
| `-- c@1.0.3
`-- d &lt;-- depends on c@~1.0.9
`-- c@1.0.10
</code></pre><p>In this case, <code><a href="../cli/npm-dedupe.html"><a href="../cli/npm-dedupe.html">npm-dedupe(1)</a></a></code> will transform the tree to:</p>
<pre><code>a
+-- b
+-- d
`-- c@1.0.10
</code></pre><p>Because of the hierarchical nature of node&#39;s module lookup, b and d
will both get their dependency met by the single c package at the root
level of the tree.</p>
<p>If a suitable version exists at the target location in the tree
already, then it will be left untouched, but the other duplicates will
be deleted.</p>
<p>If no suitable version can be found, then a warning is printed, and
nothing is done.</p>
<p>If any arguments are supplied, then they are filters, and only the
named packages will be touched.</p>
<p>Note that this operation transforms the dependency tree, and may
result in packages getting updated versions, perhaps from the npm
registry.</p>
<p>This feature is experimental, and may change in future versions.</p>
<p>The <code>--tag</code> argument will apply to all of the affected dependencies. If a
tag with the given name exists, the tagged version is preferred over newer
versions.</p>
