Package Exports
- pnpm
- pnpm/lib/bin/pnpm.js
- pnpm/lib/logger
- pnpm/package.json
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pnpm) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Table of Contents
Background
pnpm maintains a flat storage of all your dependencies in node_modules/.store. They are then symlinked wherever they're needed.
This nets you the benefits of less disk space usage, while keeping your node_modules clean.
See store layout for an explanation.
