npm install git repository without package.json

Question

I have a project that depends on several third-party libs.

My package.json looks like:

\"dependencies\": {
    \"vendor-name\": \"git://github.com/ve         


        

Answer 1

Yes you can with this package: https://npmjs.org/package/napa

Answer 2

What napa do seems to be overengineered. I think just adding install script into the package.json is enough for you.

"scripts": {
    "install": "git clone https://github.com/vendor/name.git -b v1.1 node_modules/name"
}

Answer 3

no that is not possible according to the npm documentation
