Readme
assert-pm
yarn and npm have started to diverge in feature set. For example yarn introduced workspaces, which do not work with npm (yet).
To avoid contributors accidentally using the "wrong" package manager and getting hard to debug errors, you can use assert-pm as a postinstall script. It'll cause the installation to fail and warn the user.
Installation
yarn add --dev assert-pmnpm install --dev assert-pmUsage
If you are managing your packages with workspaces, you can add it to your parent package.json as postinstall script. Make sure to not add it to packages you do publish as this script will also be run upon installation by users.

npm installthey will get an error:
[email protected] postinstall

Please use yarn.
