About Nub

An all-in-one toolkit for Node.js. One Rust binary to run your files and scripts, install dependencies, and manage Node itself — a Bun-like modern DX on top of the node you already have. There's no new runtime to adopt and no lock-in: every augmentation rides on Node's own public extension surfaces.

What's new in 0.9.7

Nub 0.9.7 runs each nub --test file once again, keeps the full manifest of URL, git and file: dependencies, and fixes two compat-mode launch failures.
