2. yarn add <package> - Installs a package and adds it to your dependencies.
3. yarn remove <package> - Uninstalls a package and removes it from your dependencies.
4. yarn upgrade <package> - Upgrades a package to its latest version.
5. yarn install - Installs all dependencies listed in package.json.

Can you explain what yarn add does?

Sure! The yarn add <package> command installs a specified package and adds it to your project's dependencies in the package.json file. You can also specify a version or a tag if needed.

What if I want to install a package globally?

To install a package globally, you can use the command yarn global add <package>. This makes the package available across all your projects.

Are there any commands for checking outdated packages?

Yes! You can use the command yarn outdated to check for any outdated packages in your project. It will list the current version, the latest version, and the wanted version.
