+# `npm run` Has Some Typo Aliases
+
+The developers of the `npm` CLI know that sometimes we are trying to run
+commands in a hurry. It's easy to be trying to type `npm run` and instead type
+`npm rum` or `npm urn`. No worries though, the command will still work.
+
+If I run `npm help run`, I'll see a manpage that opens with the following:
+
+```
+NPM-RUN(1)                                                                    NPM-RUN(1)
+
+NAME
+       npm-run - Run arbitrary package scripts
+
+   Synopsis
+         npm run <command> [-- <args>]
+
+         aliases: run-script, rum, urn
+
+  ...
+```
+
+Notice it lists a few _aliases_ including `rum` and `urn`.
+
+Here are two examples of me running my test suite with `rum` and then `urn`.
+
+```bash
+❯ npm rum test:run
+
+> test:run
+> vitest run
+
+
+ RUN  v3.0.7 /Users/lastword/dev/jbranchaud/still
+
+ ✓ app/javascript/utils/urlUtils.test.js (6 tests) 2ms
+ ✓ app/javascript/utils/clipboardImage.test.js (20 tests) 3ms
+
+ Test Files  2 passed (2)

+
+

+
+> test:run

+```
