johnny-dep

Helps you to work with git dependencies.

workflow

Here's how Johnny Dep would like to help you manage your git dependencies:

setup

1. git clone && npm i as normal, this installs third party dependencies.
2. npm run johnny (which will run johnny-dep sync-npm-git-dependencies), this installs your npm git dependencies, cloning and building the repos at ../ and simulating flat dependency structure using symlinks.
3. npm run dev

add an npm dependency

1. cd into the repo where you want to add the dependency
2. johnny-dep remove-symlinks (requires globally installed johnny-dep)
3. npm install your favourite dependency
4. cd into the main project
5. npm run johnny

add a git dependency

1. open the package.json of your project
2. add your git pointer to the johnnyDep.npmGitDependencies Array in this format: [org]/[repo]#[branch]
3. npm run johnny

commands

sync-npm-git-dependencies

Installs your npm git dependencies, cloning and building the repos at ../ and simulating flat dependency structure using symlinks.
