Running bun install will create a lockfile called bun.lock.
Should it be committed to git?
Yes
Generate a lockfile without installing?
To generate a lockfile without installing to node_modules you can use the --lockfile-only flag. The lockfile will always be saved to disk, even if it is up-to-date with the package.json(s) for your project.
$ bun install --lockfile-only
{% callout %}
Note - using --lockfile-only will still populate the global install cache with registry metadata and git/tarball dependencies.
{% /callout %}
Can I opt out?
To install without creating a lockfile:
$ bun install --no-save
To install a Yarn lockfile in addition to bun.lock.
{% codetabs %}
$ bun install --yarn
[install.lockfile]
# whether to save a non-Bun lockfile alongside bun.lock
# only "yarn" is supported
print = "yarn"
{% /codetabs %}
Text-based lockfile
Bun v1.2 changed the default lockfile format to the text-based bun.lock. Existing binary bun.lockb lockfiles can be migrated to the new format by running bun install --save-text-lockfile --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only and deleting bun.lockb.
More information about the new lockfile format can be found on our blogpost.
