Here is my env:

node: v10.16.3
os: linux alpine
npm: v6.9.0
eslint: v6.1.0

Looks like you're missing git on your alpine system. Either way this would be better filed on npm than here.

Yeah, sorry, I don't think this has anything to do with eslint-nibble. Make sure you've got git installed, and let me know if you have any other trouble.

[probil]

I don't have any problems with a bunch of other tools I use.

It seems like the issue is directly connected to this dependency:

eslint-nibble/package.json

Line 42 in d9edd1f

"eslint-stats": "ianvs/eslint-stats#1648ff07bc3c77d18714ac05aadfd4bb591bdff3",

I don't think this has anything to do with eslint-nibble.

Hosting your forked eslint-stats on npm as a separate package would fix the issue. I mean something under your namespace, e.g. @ianvs/eslint-stats 🤔

[IanVS]

Hm, I see. So you don't want git installed? And npm is trying to use it to install my fork from github. Pointing to a git commit is valid in a package.json (https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#github-urls), so this kind of does seem like an issue in npm.

That said, if I get some time, I'll try to do as you suggest and publish to a namespace.

npm supports installing from git by default, so this is an issue with your system - anything with node and npm also needs git to be fully functional.

I am facing a different issue with the eslint-stats package, When I install packages through the internet I'm not facing any issues but if I try to install behind the corporate firewall with privately hosted artifactory this fails. There is no connectivity to github and there is prompt asking to choose a version. This was working fine earlier and started to fail from last week.

[IanVS]

@indvinoth I haven't changed anything on this end, so I have to imagine that either something in npm has changed, or something in your corporate firewall rules. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help with that one.

But I have published eslint-stats as @ianvs/eslint-stats, and released eslint-nibble@6.0.0-beta.3.

[indvinoth]

@IanVS Thanks for your response. I was able to sort it out with our internal Artifactory
