Looks like pnpx not handling a bin named something different: dbdiff

Just ran into this again.

pnpx protobufjs
npx: command not found: protobufjs

npx protobufjs

Same with me 😞. Running in git-bash, Win10. In linux works fine.

Same issue, Win10 Home, likely git-bash inside VSCode.
pnpm & npx both work great.

Im using wsl (Ubuntu) on Win10. Oddly pnpx finds and installs the package before telling me command not found.

Came by to report a bug with installing packages on the fly from URLs, but it looks like it may actually be a naming collision. For packages installed from URLs pnpx tries to run the last path segment as the bin, which obviously will not match for things like gists:
