Lets say i have few executables app1.exe, app2.exe, app3.exe and i want to save up disk space.
So i would like pkg not to bundle node executable inside each binary, but dynamically link it. Is this possible ?

Well I'm still not sure entirely what you mean but you could create a single bundle of Node with a set of dependencies that you need, then let it execute process.argv[2] or start a REPL if none is provided.

What you basically have then is an executable that behaves just like Node.exe but with a few extra modules already included.

Hope this helps you.
