Very good Node module Manager for your development needs

It's easy to use, it has its own CLI interface that makes managing dependencies very simple. I find it useful when working in an environment where everyone should be using nodejs as well. There are some things about this package manager that can only work if one knows how they do what they do (like creating NPM users). For example, there is no way to delete old versions or even see them without having access to their private key files which would allow me to decrypt everything myself. This seems like something most people wouldn't know because many don't have experience dealing with these types of problems/needs/etc. However, once installed and configured correctly, everything works great! We've been able to reduce our dependency management from multiple repos down into just 2 repos now by implementing BSD style licenses instead of MIT style ones so we're not dependent on any 3rd party libraries anymore. Easy to use, easy install process (and uninstall), no issues thus far! I'm not sure what else i would say about by Bsafe other than that it's just an all around great tool/piece-of software out there in this industry right now. We have been able to keep our node modules up2date without any problems at work or home while maintaining security within those dependencies as well.
