How to specify npm dependency as github subfolder url?

问题

My git repository:

README.md
packages
  common
    package.json
  main
    package.json

How to specify common dependency in main package.json as github subfolder url?

This does not work "common": "git://github.com/<user>/<project>/packages/common.git"

回答1:

It looks like this is not supported by NPM, and the NPM team appears to have no interest in supporting this functionality.

What you are looking for is git submodules. in short you are telling get to look for this folder in the following repo.

to do this, execute the following command:

git submodule add git://github.com/<user>/<project>/packages/common.git packages/common

notice that when cloning the repo you need to recursively clone it to be able to download the submodules:

git clone --recursive <your-git-url>
