CI #3 - Speed Up Jobs with npm ci
npm ci is a special command for installing node packages in a continuous integration environment. In this video I show Github Actions with npm ci in a JavaScript project, after showing npm i for the same code. I also talk about some of the differences of the command, and show some benchmarks as a project scales and adds more packages so you can know how useful it is in the real world.
