How to answer the git prompt in npm init for a local repo
UPDATE based on comment discussion:
IIRC npm init
just wants to know what it should write to the attributes of the repository
key in package.json
. This is optional, so if you don't have a URL you want to publish in the package.json
you should just be able to hit enter and move on.
In the case where you do have a URL to list, it's probably the remote fetch URL. So in that case:
git remote -v
and copy the URL.
If you have a github repository you want to use, get the HTTPS address by clicking the green Code button. Put the address in during npm init startup or update in the package.json.
