<h1><a href="../cli/npm-submodule.html">npm-submodule</a></h1> <p>Add a package as a git submodule</p>
|
|
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
|
|
<pre><code>npm submodule <pkg>
|
|
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
<p>If the specified package has a git repository url in its package.json
|
|
description, then this command will add it as a git submodule at
|
|
<code>node_modules/<pkg name></code>.</p>
|
|
<p>This is a convenience only. From then on, it's up to you to manage
|
|
updates by using the appropriate git commands. npm will stubbornly
|
|
refuse to update, modify, or remove anything with a <code>.git</code> subfolder
|
|
in it.</p>
|
|
<p>This command also does not install missing dependencies, if the package
|
|
does not include them in its git repository. If <code>npm ls</code> reports that
|
|
things are missing, you can either install, link, or submodule them yourself,
|
|
or you can do <code>npm explore <pkgname> -- npm install</code> to install the
|
|
dependencies into the submodule folder.</p>
