Copy dependencies from repos in the ../ folder to the current repo's node_modules. This is useful for development on dependent modules in a React Native project as npm link is broken in React Native.
Script will search in all folders at the peer level to the current project that dotdotdep is installed in and compare the folder name to all the folders in node_modules. if any match, it will call npm run build in that peer level folder then copy its contents into the same folder name in node_modules. If will first rm -rf the destination folder in node_modules. The contents in the source folder that it will copy will be either:
Files that match the package.json files array.
or if there is no files array in package.json
All files excluding
[ '/node_modules', '.git', '.idea', '.vscode', '.babelrc', '.eslintrc.json', '.flowconfig' ]
npm install updot --save-dev

"updot": "updot",
To update the node_modules
npm run updot
Change the source directory by passing a directory path as the first argument
