Installing with npm from local directory vs. git repository

This is a dummy NPM package to investigate different behavior when installing from local direcotry vs Git repository. It is meant to be a supplementary material for discussion around issue 3055 of npm/npm.

How to use it

First please see the package.json file. It's full of lifecycle scripts (all that are mentioned in the docs). Each just outputs it's name.

Then you can review log files from running npm install in various ways. Both stdout and stderr are concatenated in the logs.

• from within the package directory: npm i --verbose
• from local directory: npm i --verbose ../npm-scripts
• from Git repository:npm i --verbose lzrski/npm-scripts

Use your preferred diff tool to compare them.

Contributing
