NPM-EXPLORE(1)

NAME
npm-explore -- Browse an installed package

SYNOPSIS
npm explore <name>[@<version>] [ -- <cmd>]

DESCRIPTION
Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.

If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then immediately terminates.

This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the node_modules folder:

    npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master

Note that the package is not automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be sure to use npm rebuild <pkg> if you make any changes.

CONFIGURATION

•   Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd" on Windows
