Install specific branch from github using Npm

Question

I would like to install bootstrap-loader from github in my project using npm

Currently they are maintaining two version of this project which are comaptible with web

Answer 1

Just do:

npm install username/repo#branchName --save

e.g. (my username is betimer)

npm i betimer/rtc-attach#master --save

// this will appear in your package.json:
"rtc-attach": "github:betimer/rtc-attach#master"

One thing I also want to mention: it's not a good idea to check in the package.json for the build server auto pull the change. Instead, put the npm i (first command) into the build command, and let server just install and replace the package.

One more note, if the package.json private is set to true, may impact sometimes.
