Synopsis
npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
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
shell
- Default: SHELL environment variable, or “bash” on Posix, or “cmd.exe” on Windows
- Type: String
The shell to run for the npm explore command.
