+Today I discovered `npm ci` from a colleague. It does a clean install wiping out the node_modules
+before installing. For me this is perfect because I often find myself doing
+
+```shell
+$ rm -rf node_modules && npm i
+```
+
+no need just run `npm ci`
+
+**note: you'll still want to do `npm i` when installing packages as `npm ci` does not update package\*..*
