How to install package from github repo in Yarn
When I use npm install fancyapps/fancybox#v2.6.1 --save
, so fancybox package at v2.6.1 tag will be installed. This behavior is described in docs
I want to ask, how to do this with yarn
?
Is this command the right alternative? In yarn docs isn't anything about this format.
yarn add fancyapps/fancybox#v2.6.1
You can add any Git repository (or tarball) as a dependency to yarn
by specifying the remote URL (either HTTPS or SSH):
yarn add <git remote url> installs a package from a remote git repository.
yarn add <git remote url>#<branch/commit/tag> installs a package from a remote git repository at specific git branch, git commit or git tag.
yarn add https://my-project.org/package.tgz installs a package from a remote gzipped tarball.
Here are some examples:
yarn add https://github.com/fancyapps/fancybox [remote url]
yarn add ssh://github.com/fancyapps/fancybox#3.0 [branch]
yarn add https://github.com/fancyapps/fancybox#5cda5b529ce3fb6c167a55d42ee5a316e921d95f [commit]
(Note: Fancybox v2.6.1 isn't available in the Git version.)
To support both npm and yarn, you can use the git+url syntax:
git+https://github.com/owner/package.git#commithashortagorbranch
git+ssh://github.com/owner/package.git#commithashortagorbranch
For ssh style urls just add ssh before the url:
yarn add ssh://<whatever>@<xxx>#<branch,tag,commit>
