bun add [options] package ...
DESCRIPTION
bun add adds packages to package.json and installs them into node_modules. It updates or creates bun.lockb for reproducible installs. The command is significantly faster than npm or yarn alternatives.
PARAMETERS
-D, --dev

Add to peerDependencies-O, --optional
Add to optionalDependencies-E, --exact
Use exact version without ^ or ~ prefix-g, --global
Install globally to Bun's global store--production

Use custom npm registry--lockfile-only
Update lockfile without installing--dry-run
Simulate without making changes--force
Force install despite warnings
PACKAGE SOURCES
Supports npm registry packages, semver ranges, git URLs (git+https://...), local paths (file:../path), and workspace packages (workspace:*).
CAVEATS
Creates bun.lockb lockfile format. Package versions default to caret (^) ranges unless --exact is specified. Global packages are stored in Bun's global store, not system-wide.
