It really helps in debugging when you also go inside the modules that your app is using, and fiddle about in there. It also help in learning a lot more about those modules as well. I often find myself git cloning modules that I want to do this to, instead of npm install, because that way I can just make whatever changes in it and do git stash to reset. I've also been able to contribute more easily this way.But cloning manually adds an overhead of also running npm installs for that module. Also since most modules are to be installed locally, you have to do this all over again for any new projects.I wish npm install had a option to directly clone the modules from their respective github repositiory (auto-forking would be a tremendous plus), and install or link to that for every new project.Is there another such way to make this process easy? How do other devs install or keep such modules that they frequently fiddle about inside of?
