NPM Modules Sync

Keep your global NPM packages in sync between machines.

TL;DR While NVM and the likes let you keep packages in sync between multiple versions, if you develop across multiple machines, you can use this module to keep your global NPM packages in sync.

Installation

npm install -g npm-modules-sync

If you are using Yarn:
yarn global add npm-modules-sync

Getting started

1. On the machine you want to use as the source of your package list, run
   npm-sync init -t <your-github-token>
2. Note the ID of the gist returned from the previous step once it completes
3. On the machine you want to sync using the the gist, run
   npm-sync init -t <your-github-token> -i <gist-id>
4. Run npm-sync up subsequently on your main machine to update the list of packages
5. Run npm-sync dl subsequently on your syned machines to download the current list of global packages

N.B Step 1 needs to be run only once on the machine that you want to use as your source of truth. Similarly, step 3 needs to be run only once on every machine you want to keep in sync.
