Conversation
Read /usr/local/etc/pnpmrc to support the platform-specific global bin dir.

This change is for Homebrew/homebrew-core@4546e4c. |

pnpm uses npm's config system and we already read the global npmrc file. Can't we just reuse that? |

Oh thanks for the changeset. I couldn't wait for CI and fell asleep. |
With this config, pnpm will install global package's executables into ~/Library/pnpm (macOS) or ~/.local/pnpm (Linux) by default. This config allows pnpm to provide the command `pnpm env use --global 16` safely with Homebrew. Refer to pnpm/pnpm#3762.
Abstract
It would be great that the package manager can customize the global bin directory along with its policy.
I propose
global-bin-dirin a npmrc to customize the global bin directory of pnpm.Use case
Homebrew/homebrew-core#82892
In Homebrew, create
/usr/local/etc/npmrcand addglobal-bin-dir = ${HOME}/Library/pnpmto it.It will change the global bin directory to
~/Library/pnpmwithout PNPM_HOME set.(In Linuxbrew,
~/.local/pnpmwould be used)References
