Install the package via bun add --dev bun-workspaces to use the API.
Note that you need to run bun install in your project forbun-workspaces to find your project's workspaces, and you likely must run this again after you've updated your workspaces.
See the Glossary for more fundamental concepts.
Required Bun version: ^1.2.0
Ensure you have @types/bun installed for accurate types. Your "lib" field in tsconfig.json should ideally include "ESNext".
