NAME

npm-explore - Browse an installed package  

SYNOPSIS

npm explore <pkg> [ -- <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.
