PNPM syntax causing some trouble in NPM project

[oravecz]

Since you are using pnpm, this probably doesn't matter too much, but thought I should throw it out there for awareness.

I am trying to use the Vitest master branch to validate a bug fix prior to the release being cut. When I tried to import the git dependency to my project, I experienced an error that was hard for me to diagnose because I don't use pnpm.

# In my project
npm install -D github:vitest-dev/vitest

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! git dep preparation failed
npm ERR! command /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install --force --cache=/Users/jimcook/.npm --prefer-offline=false --prefer-online=false --offline=false --no-progress --no-save --no-audit --include=dev --include=peer --include=optional --no-package-lock-only --no-dry-run
npm ERR! npm WARN using --force Recommended protections disabled.
npm ERR! npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:*

It took me a while to realize it was caused by the vitest package.json and not something on my side. Had no help searching for the error in relation to npm.

vitest/package.json

Line 61 in 5993ce1

"vitest": "workspace:*",

I've since seen that vitest is a monorepo and I wouldn't be able to consume it in my project directly anyway.
