Bun Replacements for Node, NPM, and NPX

This repository provides shell scripts to replace node, npm, and npx with bun and bunx for faster JavaScript workflows. The scripts mimic version outputs for compatibility with tools/scripts that check Node/npm versions.

Features

• Mimics Node.js v25.0.0 and npm v11.6.2 for --version, -v, --help, etc.
• Forwards all other commands to bun/bunx.
• Handles common flags like -e for inline eval in Node.
• Scripts named node, npm, npx (no .sh for seamless replacement).

Latest Versions

• Node.js: v25.0.0
• npm/npx: 11.6.2
• Bun: 1.3.1

Setup

1. Install Bun: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
2. Save scripts as node, npm, npx in ~/bin (create if needed).
3. Make executable: chmod +x ~/bin/node ~/bin/npm ~/bin/npx
4. Add to PATH in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc: export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
5. Reload shell: source ~/.bashrc
6. Test: node --version (should output v25.0.0)

Scripts

• node: Replaces node with bun.
• npm: Replaces npm with bun (for package management).
• npx: Replaces npx with bunx.

Compatibility Notes

• Bun is highly compatible, but test complex Node APIs.
• Update version strings in scripts for future releases.
