How can I run pnpm on a nested package that is not supposed to be part of a workspace inside a monorepo? Say I have
root
├── packages
│ ├── foo
│ └── bar
├── non-workspaced-packages
│ └── baz
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
…
And a pnpm-workspace.yaml:
packages:
- 'packages/**'
If I go into non-workspaced-packages/baz and hit pnpm install it still runs in the context of the root workspace. I can't seem to find a way to run pnpm in a folder nested inside something with a .pnpm-workspace.yaml without pnpm wanting to do the workspace thing…?

I think you want the --ignore-workspace flag:
pnpm --ignore-workspace install
I found it in this GitHub Discussion. I'm not sure why it isn't documented.
