Tinker with your bower and node modules!
I often find myself editing modules directly in node_modules or bower_components. When I'm done, I need to merge my changes back into a library repo or to revert to a released state.
Tinker provides some easy mechanisms to switch back and forth between modules installed from your favorite package manager and a git repo.
- Install
$ npm install tinker -g
- Initialize
project$ tinker init
- Start tinkering! (copy .git folder or git clone)
project$ tinker on module_name
project$ tinker on 'start_of_name*'
Prompts will help you protect your work.
- Execute commands on your modules
project$ tinker module_name gulp watch
project$ tinker module_name git status
project$ tinker module_name gulp test; gulp watch
- Stop tinkering! (remove .git folder or clean install)
project$ tinker off module_name
