Linkme

A simple utility to create symbolic links to locally checked out dependencies.

Inspired by the functionality provided by npm link but for non npm or node managed projects where similar functionality is missing.

Currently only supports composer linking.

Linkme works in two parts, local and global linking/unlinking.

Global linking

A link is created from a global location <home dir>/.linkme/<dependency manager>/<cononical package name> to your project.

This creates a way of linking in to a locally checked out dependency.

Local linking

A link is created from the dependency managers directory (e.g. vendor for composer) to the global link of the specified dependency.

Installation

# Install the module globally
$ sudo npm -g install linkme

Usage

# cd to your dependency
$ cd /path/to/my-dependency

# Create a global link
$ linkme

# or remove the global link
$ linkme -u

# cd to your application where we wish to link to the dependency.
$ cd /path/to/my-app

# Create a link to your dependency within the application
$ linkme my-dependency

# or unlink the dependency from the application
$ linkme -u my-dependency
