Sometimes Link needs a little help from Zelda.
- Install it globally.
npm install -g zelda- Run
zeldafrom your node project directory. For example:
cd ~/code/my-project
zeldazelda finds all the node packages in your code folder (~/code/ in the example).
If any of these packages are listed as a dependency in the nearest package.json
of your working directory, it automatically symlinks it for you.
Zelda assumes that all your code lives in the directory one level up from the
folder where you run zelda. So, keep all your packages in a single folder like
~/code and run zelda inside one of the projects (ex: ~/code/my-project).
- Clone a cool project.
mkdir ~/code
cd ~/code
git clone [email protected]:feross/webtorrent.git- Clone the project dependencies you plan to work on.
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-protocol.git
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-swarm.git
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-dht.git- Recursively
npm installall project dependencies, butnpm linkthe ones that are local.
cd webtorrent
