Say I've forked a node module with a bugfix and I want to use my fixed version, on a feature branch of course, until the bugfix is merged and released.
How would I reference my fixed version in the dependencies of my package.json?
Question
Answer
Solution 1
From the npm docs, using a git URL:
https://github.com/<user>/<project>.git#<branch>
Don't use git:// protocol for GitHub, it is not longer supported
Solution 2
As of NPM version 1.1.65, you can use a shorten github URL:
<user>/<project>#<branch>
