<h1><a href="../cli/npm-explore.html">npm-explore</a></h1> <p>Browse an installed package</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm explore <name> [ -- <cmd>]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.</p>
<p>If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then
immediately terminates.</p>
<p>This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the
<code>node_modules</code> folder:</p>
<pre><code>npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master
</code></pre><p>Note that the package is <em>not</em> automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be
sure to use <code>npm rebuild <pkg></code> if you make any changes.</p>
<h2 id="configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
<h3 id="shell">shell</h3>
<ul>
<li>Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd" on
Windows</li>
<li>Type: path</li>
</ul>
