install-here

Your packages as updatable templates

Install

$ npm install install-here -g

Use

Install npm package in folder you want: launch this command in the project folder

$ install-here <package> [<options>]

the package will be cloned directly in folder. Once the original package has been updated and you want to update yours, simply use the command (without specifying the package name):

$ install-here

changing options defined in the file:

install-here.json

(created by the tool at the first launch) you can skip or manage overwriting modes for existing files or folders.

See USE CASE for more details.

Similar to a basic yeoman but considering an npm package as template!
