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.
```bash
$ 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:
```bash
$ bun install --no-save
```
To install a Yarn lockfile _in addition_ to `bun.lock`.
{% codetabs %}
```bash#CLI flag
$ bun install --yarn
```
```toml#bunfig.toml
[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](https://bun.sh/blog/bun-lock-text-lockfile).
