"NAME"
npm-explore - Browse an installed package
"Synopsis"

npm explore <pkg> \[lB] -- <command>\[rB]

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

"Description"

Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.

If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then immediately terminates.

This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the node_modules folder:

npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master

Note that the package is not automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be sure to use npm rebuild <pkg> if you make any changes.
