Difference between npm t and npm run test

Question

I've seen some people use the command npm t when running tests. Is this command any different to running npm run test?

Answer 1

TL;DR there is no difference.

It's just a shortcut for npm tests which run the test command in the package.json file. npm run test performs the same action in this case.

Answer 2

Following on from Andy Ray's comment, the documentation states that t is an alias for test.

npm help t
