|
## Browse an installed package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Synopsis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
