we are working on node.js application and I consume my colleges package which is published to npm, now he create new Git branch (let's call it second) there is a way to somehow consume it in the package.json without publish it to npm ? ( I just want to test the new branch )
update I try something like
"git://github.mycompany.corp/vv/app.js.git#newbranch"
and its not working any idea ?
You can use a particular github branch in package json by adding dependency in below specified format:
git://github.com/<user>/<project>.git#<branch>
so one way is to take the clone of the whole project and Try these steps
1) Fetch all the branches
git fetch origin
2) checkout to your second branch
git checkout <second branch name> like
git checkout second
3) now test the second branch
Other way could be to use git subModules to include the package as the submodule in your project Please refer this link:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
git submodule add git://github.mycompany.corp/vv/app.js.git#newbranch
and then referrence package.json from there and test this.
