NPM package versions & tags
===========================

To list available tags use command ``npm view $PGK``::

  npm view npm
  npm v npm
  npm show npm

It is a common practice for modules to provide following two tags::

  latest
  next

To get all available versions::

  npm show lodash@* version
  npm show lodash versions
  npm view npm --json

To get the currently used version in the ``package.json``-kind of project::

  npm list lodash

Prune unused packages
=====================

Prune all::

  npm prune

Prune by name::

  npm prune $NAME1 #NAME2
