Dev My Dep

Little tool to seamlessly develop dependencies.

# Install `dev-my-dep`
$ pnpm install --dev @brillout/dev-my-dep
# Develop `some-dependency`
$ pnpm exec dev-my-dep some-dependency

1. Automatically fetches the Git repository of some-dependency at $root/deps/some-dependency/

   $root is your pnpm workspace's root directory.

   Add /deps/ to $root/.gitignore.

   dev-my-dep determines the Git repository's URL by reading some-dependency's package.json#repository.

2. Automatically runs pnpm install in $root/deps/some-dependency/

3. Automatically symlinks $cwd/node_modules/some-dependency/ to $root/deps/some-dependency/.

   $cwd is the current working directory (process.cwd())

   You need to run the dev-my-dep CLI at the workspace's package that uses some-dependency.

4. Prints the version status of some-dependency.

   Current semver: some-dependency@^0.1.0
   Latest version: some-dependency@0.1.0
   

Only works with pnpm. (Supporting other package managers is a non-goal.)
