Install specific branch from github using Npm
you can give git pattern as version, yarn and npm are clever enough to resolve from a git repo.
yarn add any-package@user-name/repo-name#branch-name
or for npm
npm install --save any-package@user-name/repo-name#branch-name
There are extra square brackets in the command you tried.
To install the latest version from the brach-name
branch, you can use:
npm install "https://github.com/shakacode/bootstrap-loader.git#branch-name" --save
npm: npm install username/repo#branchName --save
yarn: yarn add username/repo#branchName
e.g. npm i betimer/rtc-attach#master --save
(my username is betimer)
// this will appear in your package.json:
"rtc-attach": "github:betimer/rtc-attach#master"
One thing I also want to mention: it's not a good idea to check in the package.json for the build server auto pull the change. Instead, put the npm i (first command) into the build command, and let server just install and replace the package.
One more note, if the package.json private is set to true, may impact sometimes.
