npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]

Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified\.

If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then immediately terminates\.

This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the node_modules folder:

npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master

Note that the package is not automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be sure to use npm rebuild <pkg> if you make any changes\.

The shell to run for the npm explore command\.
