GitPM Node ·

GitPM-Node is a CLI tool that can enable you to install private git packages from npm without storing username and password in package.json

Disclaimer

☠️ Use this tool only within a docker container

We havent tested it on physical machines

Installation

npm install -g gitpm-node@latest

Usage

1. Install all dependencies

gitpm-node install

2. Install a new git/npm package

gitpm-node install --save git+https://<DOMAIN>/path/to/package.git

2. Normal npm dependencies can also be installed with options

gitpm-node install --save <npm package name>

the above commands will prompt for git credentials and create an auth.json in the same directory as package.json containing the git http credentials

In case if auth.json exists, it will be used without any prompt (Usefull incase of CI/CD)

• Example auth.json

{
  "git.domain.com": {
    "username": "<username / token name>",
    "password": "<password / personal token>"
  }
}
