Install specific branch from github using Npm

Solution 1:

There are extra square brackets in the command you tried.

To install the latest version from the brach-name branch, you can use:

npm install "https://github.com/shakacode/bootstrap-loader.git#branch-name" --save

Solution 2:

Just do:

npm install username/repo#branchName --save

e.g. (my username is betimer)

npm i betimer/rtc-attach#master --save

// this will appear in your package.json:
"rtc-attach": "github:betimer/rtc-attach#master"

One thing I also want to mention: it's not a good idea to check in the package.json for the build server auto pull the change. Instead, put the npm i (first command) into the build command, and let server just install and replace the package.

One more note, if the package.json private is set to true, may impact sometimes.

Solution 3:

you can give git pattern as version, yarn and npm are clever enough to resolve from a git repo.

yarn add any-package@user-name/repo-name#branch-name

or for npm

npm install --save any-package@user-name/repo-name#branch-name
