Pack your node_modules as *.tgz files for version control and easy deploys
Why?
----
Because commiting the node_modules into source control sucks. It kills
diffs and makes code reviews difficult.
Read more in my blog post.
Installation
------------
npm install -g pac
Usage
-----
``
Usage: pac [options] [packageName ...]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-i, install Install packages
-P, --production Install/Pack production packages
-s, --strategy [type] Uses specified strategy [npm|bower] to install/pack
packages. Default is "npm".
-v, --verbose Logs out verbose log messages
Examples:
$ pac -P install
$ pac grunt
$ pac -s bower install
$ pac -s bower angular
`
From a command prompt, run pac from your project's root directory.
You'll see a new .modules directory that contains gzipped tarballs of your
dependencies. When deploying, you can use pac to install the modules:
`
mkdir -p node_modules
pac install
npm rebuild
