13 Description
14 Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.
15
16 If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then
17 immediately terminates.

19 This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the
20 node_modules folder:
21
22 npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master
23
24 Note that the package is not automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be
25 sure to use npm rebuild <pkg> if you make any changes.
