<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm submodule <pkg>
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>If the specified package has a git repository url in its package.json
description, then this command will add it as a git submodule at
<code>node_modules/<pkg name></code>.</p>
<p>This is a convenience only. From then on, it's up to you to manage
updates by using the appropriate git commands. npm will stubbornly
refuse to update, modify, or remove anything with a <code>.git</code> subfolder
in it.</p>
<p>This command also does not install missing dependencies, if the package
does not include them in its git repository. If <code>npm ls</code> reports that
things are missing, you can either install, link, or submodule them yourself,
or you can do <code>npm explore <pkgname> -- npm install</code> to install the
dependencies into the submodule folder.</p>
