-.SH "NAME"
-\fBnpm-link\fR \- Symlink a package folder
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.P
-.RS 2
-.nf
-npm link (in package dir)
-npm link [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]
-
-alias: npm ln
-.fi
-.RE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.P
-Package linking is a two\-step process\.
-.P
-First, \fBnpm link\fP in a package folder will create a symlink in the global folder
-\fB{prefix}/lib/node_modules/<package>\fP that links to the package where the \fBnpm
-link\fP command was executed\. (see npm help 7 \fBnpm\-config\fP for the value of \fBprefix\fP)\. It
-will also link any bins in the package to \fB{prefix}/bin/{name}\fP\|\.
-.P
-Next, in some other location, \fBnpm link package\-name\fP will create a
-symbolic link from globally\-installed \fBpackage\-name\fP to \fBnode_modules/\fP
-of the current folder\.
-.P
-Note that \fBpackage\-name\fP is taken from \fBpackage\.json\fP,
-not from directory name\.
-.P
-The package name can be optionally prefixed with a scope\. See npm help 7 \fBnpm\-scope\fP\|\.
-The scope must be preceded by an @\-symbol and followed by a slash\.
-.P
-When creating tarballs for \fBnpm publish\fP, the linked packages are
-"snapshotted" to their current state by resolving the symbolic links\.
-.P
-This is handy for installing your own stuff, so that you can work on it and
-test it iteratively without having to continually rebuild\.
-.P
-For example:
-.P
-.RS 2
-.nf
-cd ~/projects/node\-redis # go into the package directory
-npm link # creates global link
-cd ~/projects/node\-bloggy # go into some other package directory\.
-npm link redis # link\-install the package
-.fi
-.RE
-.P
-Now, any changes to ~/projects/node\-redis will be reflected in
-~/projects/node\-bloggy/node_modules/node\-redis/\. Note that the link should
-be to the package name, not the directory name for that package\.
-.P
-You may also shortcut the two steps in one\. For example, to do the
-above use\-case in a shorter way:
-.P
-.RS 2
-.nf
-cd ~/projects/node\-bloggy # go into the dir of your main project
-npm link \.\./node\-redis # link the dir of your dependency
-.fi
-.RE
-.P
-The second line is the equivalent of doing:
-.P
-.RS 2
-.nf
-(cd \.\./node\-redis; npm link)
-npm link redis
-.fi
-.RE
-.P
-That is, it first creates a global link, and then links the global
-installation target into your project's \fBnode_modules\fP folder\.
-.P
-Note that in this case, you are referring to the directory name, \fBnode\-redis\fP,
-rather than the package name \fBredis\fP\|\.
-.P
-If your linked package is scoped (see npm help 7 \fBnpm\-scope\fP) your link command must
-include that scope, e\.g\.
-.P
-.RS 2
-.nf
-npm link @myorg/privatepackage
