CLI tool for replacing node dependencies with their respective git repositories.
npm install -g gitify-dependencies
gitify-deps [--options]
Flag | Environment variable | Description | Allowed values | Default value |
---|---|---|---|---|
--checkout-tags -c | CHECKOUT_TAGS | If a dependency is already a git repo, the CLI will just "git checkout" the version specified in npm-shrinkwrap.json . | 'yes', 'no' | 'no' |
--gitify-url-pattern -p | GITIFY_URL_PATTERN | Specify a pattern that gets matched against the package's url. Please note, that you must either set this flag or the environment variable! | none | none |
--node-projects-dir -d | NODE_PROJECTS_DIR | Set a path which will keep the git repository's data. | none | $HOME/.gitify |
This tool walks through your npm-shrinkwrap.json
file and does the following things for every dependency (and it's sub-dependencies):
{NODE_PROJECTS_DIR}/{name of the dependency}
.node_modules
directory if present.{NODE_PROJECTS_DIR}/{name of the dependency}
.node_modules
.In practice you can treat this like a sort of "linked clone" of the original repo. Objects and refs (branches and tags) will be shared between all workdirs, but each one will have it's own working tree, HEAD, and index (staging area). One caveat is that only the git repository is synced, making changes and commiting in one workdir doesn't affect the files in another workdir. Use feature branches
