How can I use Yarn for managing my project dependencies?

Yarn is a package manager that helps you manage your project dependencies efficiently. You can start by installing Yarn globally using npm with the command npm install -g yarn. After that, you can initialize a new project with yarn init.

What commands should I use to add and remove packages?

To add a package, use yarn add <package-name>. To remove a package, use yarn remove <package-name>. This will update your package.json and yarn.lock files automatically.

How does Yarn handle versioning of packages?

Yarn uses a lockfile (yarn.lock) to ensure that the same versions of dependencies are installed across different environments. This helps maintain consistency.

Can I use Yarn with existing npm projects?

Yes, you can use Yarn with existing npm projects. Just run yarn install in your project directory, and Yarn will read your package.json and install the dependencies.
