Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Feature What is the current behavior? Does not support zip files

Bower support has been dropped, but it would be nice to see Yarn support zip archives. This may be a corner case (and NPM has no such support), but it would make the tool more versatile particularly for people managing local dependencies.

Contributor guide
