When you run pnpm install in a monorepo, it
will run from the context of the workspace root. That means it will install
dependencies for your entire monorepo across apps and packages.
Even if you are in a subdirectory for a specific project with its own
package.json, running pnpm install will install dependencies for the entire
workspace.
If you want to install dependencies only for a specific project or a subset of
projects, you can use the --filter
flag.
