Package Manager
Definition
A package manager automates installing, updating, and resolving dependencies for software projects by maintaining a registry of versioned packages and a lockfile that pins exact dependency versions. npm, pnpm, and Yarn manage JavaScript packages; pip handles Python; Cargo manages Rust.
Lockfiles are critical for reproducible builds — they ensure all developers and CI environments use identical dependency trees.
