npm edit <name>[@<version>]
Opens the package folder in the default editor (or whatever you've
configured as the npm editor
config -- see npm help config
.)
After it has been edited, the package is rebuilt so as to pick up any changes in compiled packages.
Note: If you're finding yourself using this a lot, it's probably better
to use npm link
instead. However, it is extremely handy when used in
conjunction with npm bundle
.
For instance, you can do npm bundle install connect
to install connect
into your package, and then npm bundle edit connect
to make a few
changes to your locally bundled copy.
Default: env.EDITOR
The program to use to edit files.
