Is there a way to execute corepack up/use without trigerring install script? #737
Description
I run corepack use to update the packageManager field in my package.json. But, this also triggers pnpm install after updating the package.json.
I went through the code, and it isn't possible to skip the execution of the install script.
If I missed something, please refer me to the solution. Or, if this is not currently possible, will the team be okay with the implementation of a flag, say skip-install, for the use and up commands for this purpose.

Your experience corresponds to the README documentation which says:
corepack use <name[@<version>]>When run, this command will retrieve the latest release matching the provided descriptor, assign it to the project's package.json file, and automatically perform an install.
The issue #687 contains some discussion about the status of this repo and may help you judge whether submitting a PR to propose a change is likely to be looked at or not. My reading of the situation is that development is no longer active.
