# fresh-cli [](https://circleci.com/gh/sholladay/fresh-cli "Builds") [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sholladay/fresh-cli "Windows Builds")
> Remove and reinstall your dependencies.
## Why?
- Cross-platform support.
- Works from any directory.
- More reliable than `npm update`.
- Includes nested dependencies, too.
- Quick to type and easy to use.
- Removes safely (cannot `rm -rf /`).
[npm](https://github.com/npm/npm) does a much better job creating a dependency tree from scratch than modifying an existing one without breaking anything. By reinstalling `node_modules`, you put yourself in a more well-known, consistent state.
This project works around many bugs:
- [sindresorhus/find-up#16](https://github.com/sindresorhus/find-up/issues/16)
- [npm/npm#17805](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17805)
Please add your own bugs to the list!
