npm-submodule(1) -- Add a package as a git submodule
====================================================
## SYNOPSIS
npm submodule <pkg>
## DESCRIPTION
If the specified package has a git repository url in its package.json
description, then this command will add it as a git submodule at
`node_modules/<pkg name>`.
This is a convenience only. From then on, it's up to you to manage
updates by using the appropriate git commands. npm will stubbornly
refuse to update, modify, or remove anything with a `.git` subfolder
in it.
This command also does not install missing dependencies, if the package
does not include them in its git repository. If `npm ls` reports that
things are missing, you can either install, link, or submodule them yourself,
or you can do `npm explore <pkgname> -- npm install` to install the
dependencies into the submodule folder.
