<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm.commands.submodule(packages, callback)</code></pre>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>For each package specified, npm will check if it has a git repository url
in its package.json description then add it as a git submodule at
<code>node_modules/&lt;pkg name&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>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 <code>.git</code> subfolder
in it.</p>
<p>This command also does not install missing dependencies, if the package
does not include them in its git repository. If <code>npm ls</code> reports that
things are missing, you can either install, link, or submodule them yourself,
or you can do <code>npm explore &lt;pkgname&gt; -- npm install</code> to install the
dependencies into the submodule folder.</p>
