+# @pnpm/better-defaults
+
+> Improved defaults for pnpm
+
+## What it changes
+
+- Sets [enablePrePostScripts](https://pnpm.io/cli/run#enableprepostscripts) to `false`.
+- Sets [optimisticRepeatInstall](https://pnpm.io/settings#optimisticrepeatinstall) to `true`.
+- Sets [resolutionMode](https://pnpm.io/settings#resolutionmode) to `lowest-direct`.
+- Sets [verifyDepsBeforeRun](https://pnpm.io/settings#verifydepsbeforerun) to `install`.
+
+You can extend or override these settings in your own `.pnpmfile.cjs`.
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+pnpm add --config @pnpm/better-defaults
+```
+
+This will add `@pnpm/better-defaults` to the [configDependencies](https://pnpm.io/config-dependencies) field in your `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
+
+## Usage
+
+If you don't have a [pnpmfile](https://pnpm.io/pnpmfile) in your project, then add this to `pnpm-workspace.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+pnpmfile: node_modules/.pnpm-config/@pnpm/better-defaults/pnpmfile.cjs
+```
+
+If you have a `.pnpmfile.cjs` already in your project, then you can reexport the `updateConfig` hooks from `@pnpm/better-defaults`. This should be your `.pnpmfile.cjs`:
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  hooks: {
+    ...require('.pnpm-config/@pnpm/better-defaults/pnpmfile.cjs').hooks,
+    // Other hooks in your project
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you may have other changes in your `updateConfig` hook:
+
+```js
+const { updateConfig: makeBetterDefaults } = require('.pnpm-config/@pnpm/better-defaults/pnpmfile.cjs').hooks
+
+module.exports = {
+  hooks: {
+    updateConfig (config) {
+      return {
+        ...makeBetterDefaults(config),
+        hoistPattern: ['*'],
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
