Yarn.lock in a team via git

Question

A quick question about yarn and yarn.lock in a team setting. When someone updates yarn.lock in git, what is the procedure for developers?

Does yarn automatically figure out that the lock file is newer than node_modules and "figure it out", or do people remove their local node_modules and rerun yarn install?

Answer 1

Yarn won't do any check on node_modules folder when yarn.lock is updated via VCS.

To align node_modules folder with the dependencies listed in yarn.lock, there is no need to delete the folder. Run yarn command instead.
