np-star- Mark your favorite packages  

Synopsis

npm star [lB]<packag-spec>...[rB]

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.  

Description

"Starring" a package means that you have some interest in it. It's a vaguely positive way to show that you care. It's a boolean thing. Starring repeatedly has no additional effect.  

More

There's also these extra commands to help you manage your favorite packages:  

Unstar

You can also "unstar" a package using npm help unstar "Unstarring" is the same thing, but in reverse.  

Listing stars

You can see all your starred packages using npm help stars
