It's fast, robust, and meant to be easily integrated into your workflows such that you never have to worry about whether your `node_modules/` is up to date. Orogene aims to be the fastest and most ergonomic package manager in the space. ### Performance Orogene is very fast and uses significantly fewer resources than other package managers, in both memory and disk space. It's able to install some non-trivial projects in sub-second time: ![Warm cache comparison] For details and more benchmarks, see [the benchmarks page]. ### Where's the code? Orogene has shifted to a closed source development model with paid licenses to make the project more sustainable and help support its developers. Releases will be hosted in this repository going forward and will have limited features unless a developer license is purchased.
