After Zeit became Vercel, @vercel/ncc was created on npm on 2020-08-12 while the old @zeit/ncc package remained visible for legacy users. The README describes the motivation plainly: publish minimal npm packages, ship only relevant app code to serverless environments, avoid configuring bundlers, reduce boot-time and I/O overhead, and get a compiled-language-like experience for Node programs. ### Adoption history GitHub API data retrieved on 2026-07-01 showed 9,817 stars and 316 forks. The npm downloads API reported 3,712,545 downloads for @vercel/ncc and 56,253 downloads for legacy @zeit/ncc during 2026-05-30 through 2026-06-28. GitHub's own documentation for creating JavaScript actions names @vercel/ncc alongside Rollup as a way to combine action code and dependencies into one file for distribution, which helped make ncc a common packaging tool in the GitHub Actions ecosystem. ### How it is used The standard workflow is ncc build input.js -o dist, producing a compact dist/index.js. Users add flags for minification, source maps, externals, asset builds, TypeScript transpilation, target level, V8 cache output, or license file generation as needed. Package nerds especially use ncc for JavaScript GitHub Actions and serverless-ish deployment artifacts: commit or publish a small generated dist file instead of vendoring node_modules, while still keeping dependency resolution close to normal Node.js semantics. ### Why package nerds care ncc became the boring answer to 'I need one Node file, not a bundler project.' Its constraint is also its appeal: it targets Node programs, not browser apps, so the command stays small and packaging-oriented. ### Timeline - 2018-11-13: vercel/ncc repository created and @zeit/ncc package created on npm. - 2020-08-12: @vercel/ncc package created on npm. - 2024-11-15: 0.38.3 release published. - 2026-06-29: 0.44.1 release published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew Formulae reported stable version 0.44.1. ### Related projects - @zeit/ncc - GitHub Actions JavaScript actions - webpack asset relocator ### Sources - - - - - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** ncc - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [grunt-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/grunt-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, cli, developer-tools, javascript, nodejs. - [closure-compiler](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/closure-compiler/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, compiler, developer-tools, javascript. - [esbuild](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/esbuild/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, bundler, cli, developer-tools, javascript. - [gulp-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gulp-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, cli, developer-tools, javascript, nodejs. - [pnpm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pnpm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, javascript, nodejs. - [rollup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rollup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, bundler, cli, developer-tools, javascript. - [webpack](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/webpack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, bundler, cli, developer-tools, javascript. - [corepack](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/corepack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, javascript, nodejs. - [pulp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pulp/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
