How To Install A NPM Module From GitHub Branch

Installing a package from a GitHub branch is a great way to keep up with the latest developments of a project. If you need a version that isn't available on the official npmregistry, you can install a branch directly from the GitHub repository. Here's a guide for how to do it.

Step 1: Find the GitHub Repository You Need

First, head over to GitHub and locate the repository you need. You'll likely need to clone or fork the repository in order to access it.

Step 2: Copy the Link to the Branch

Once you've accessed the repository, you'll need to copy the link to the branch you want to install. The link should be in the format: https://github.com/[username]/[repository]/tree/[branch]. Make sure you're copying the full link, including the branch name.

Step 3: Install the Package

Now that you have the link to the branch, installing the package is easy. Open your terminal and type in npm install [link], where [link] is the link you just copied. This will install the package from the branch you specified.

Step 4: Test the Installation

Once the installation is complete, you can test your installation by running the package. Open your terminal and type in npm run [package], where [package] is the name of the package you just installed. This will run the package and you should see the output on your terminal.

And there you have it - you've successfully installed a package from a GitHub branch! With this method, you'll always have the latest version of the package, and you won't have to wait for it to make its way to the official npm registry.
