They really wrote the whole post without explaining the puns ... that shows incredible self control, because I find them to be pretty good.

"Garn" is German for Yarn, another package manager in the JS/TS ecosystem.

"Nix" (this is probably known by now) is a German/Dutch term for "nothing".

"Garnix" in combination would colloquially be "really nothing [at all]".
