<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm prune [&lt;name&gt; [&lt;name ...]]
npm prune [&lt;name&gt; [&lt;name ...]] [--production]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This command removes &quot;extraneous&quot; packages.  If a package name is
provided, then only packages matching one of the supplied names are
removed.</p>
<p>Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent
package&#39;s dependencies list.</p>
<p>If the <code>--production</code> flag is specified or the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment
variable is set to <code>production</code>, this command will remove the packages
specified in your <code>devDependencies</code>. Setting <code>--production=false</code> will
negate <code>NODE_ENV</code> being set to <code>production</code>.</p>
