# npm-explore(1)
## Browse an installed package
### Synopsis
```bash
npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
```
### 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:
```bash
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.
### Configuration
#### shell
* Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd" on
Windows
* Type: path
The shell to run for the `npm explore` command.
