@quality-sh/create-provenance

Install Provenance as a development dependency and initialize a TypeScript project:

npx --yes @quality-sh/create-provenance

The initializer detects npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, Deno, or Nub from the packageManager field or the project lockfile. Use an explicit selection when a project contains lockfiles from more than one manager:

npx --yes @quality-sh/create-provenance --package-manager bun

Use --path <path> to initialize a project outside the current directory. The initializer installs the matching @quality-sh/provenance release, creates the default scope, validates the new state, and adds .provenance/cache/ to .gitignore.

Deno can block packages that are newer than its minimum dependency age. The initializer disables that age check for the Deno add operation so a new Provenance release can install immediately. This method also works with Deno versions that do not support the newer command option.

For Nub, the initializer permits low-download names for the complete add operation. It also replaces the configured release-age exclusion list for that operation with the Provenance package family. The configured age window still applies to all other package names during the add operation.
