NAME

np-explore- Browse an installed package  

Synopsis

npm explore <pkg> [lB]- <command>[rB]

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.  

Description

npm explore som-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.
