8   Synopsis
9         npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
10
11       Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
12
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.
18
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.
