Naming conflicts

[lishoulong]

After install ni globally, I found nrm instruction is substituted by ni feature.
Usually, I use nrm as managing npm registries tools.

So, can we rename nrm to other name? From the download size of nrm, it was commonly used.

Anyone knows a better way to solve this? Frankly, any cli names could potentially conflict with others. I would like to have something like "optional binary" for npm and let users select which cli they want or not.

After search solutions for this problem, there is no good answer.
The npm official solutions is to warning the developers for the conflicts, and let the owner to rename the exported bin name.

I can't install ni where I had installed nrm before 😓.
The error log followed:

nrv or nui?

for me,

mv /usr/local/bin/nrm /usr/local/bin/nrt
npm i -g @antfu/ni

Something somewhat related is nx

the command nx to execute a bash command is conflicting with the nx command from the nx mono-repo tool

Would you consider adding an alias to the nx command?
we have nx installed as a dev dependency in our project so this is not really breaking anything nor requires any direct change, but it gets confusing pretty fast to find scripts in the package.json running nx something to have to consider that it will be scoped with the nx monorepo tool instead of @antfu/ni tool ( even more confusing since they are both used to execute a shell command, but @antfu/ni does it without interacting with mono-repo logic, while nx run it scoped to the mono-repo packages )

I do understand it's impossible to avoid collission with ALL the CLI tools out there, but NX is a pretty big one and might be worth considering 🤔
