title: npm-explore
|
|
section: 1
|
|
description: 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.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
#### shell
|
|
|
|
* Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd" on
|
|
Windows
|
|
* Type: path
|
|
|
|
The shell to run for the `npm explore` command.
