Resolve npm git dependencies to a git revision in a package.json. Allows npm to cache the dependency properly when reinstalling
npm install resolve-npm-git
var resolve = require('resolve-npm-git')
resolve(requre('./package.json'), function(err, resolved) {
// all git dependencies in package.json that contain #{some-tag}
// have been resolved to #{revision}
})
npm install -g resolve-npm-git
cd some-node-module
resolve-npm-git # prints the resolved pkg json to stdout
To replace the package.json with the resolved one use the -r flag
resolve-npm-git --replace # replaces ./package.json with the resolved one
And to use another file than ./package.json use the -f flag
resolve-npm-git --file ./some-modules/package.json
