npm-submodule(1) -- Add a package as a git submodule
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
npm submodule <pkg>
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
`node_modules/<pkg name>`.
|
|
|
|
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 `.git` subfolder
|
|
in it.
|
|
|
|
This command also does not install missing dependencies, if the package
|
|
does not include them in its git repository. If `npm ls` reports that
|
|
things are missing, you can either install, link, or submodule them yourself,
|
|
or you can do `npm explore <pkgname> -- npm install` to install the
|
|
dependencies into the submodule folder.
