Using NPX, I could run this experimental branch on any computer, even if the code wasn't already on that machine. Since I had the repo cloned locally on my computer, I could have run the project from that directory. In global mode (ie, with -g or -global appended to the command), it installs the current package context (ie, the current working directory) as a global package. As you could tell, this version looks a bit more interesting, and you could interact with the options in order to visit various URLs, like my Twitter, for example. npm install (in package directory, no arguments): Install the dependencies in the local nodemodules folder. If I type npx ElijahManor/ElijahManor#interactive, it'll now temporarily download my branch, and run it locally. NPX will recognize repos from GitHub, and you even execute individual branches. Let's go to our local repo, and navigate to GitHub with npm repo, where you'll see that I've been working on a separate branch called interactive that I'd like to run locally with NPX.

I can temporarily install it and run it with npx ElijahManor. Based on project statistics from the GitHub repository for the npm package npm-git-install, we found that it has been starred 50 times, and that 19 other projects in the ecosystem are dependent on it. As such, we scored npm-git-install popularity level to be Limited. Anyway, if I run ElijahManor, you'll notice that I don't have it installed globally. The npm package npm-git-install receives a total of 761 downloads a week. It's like a really geeky digital business card. Instructor: I have a CLI package on NPM called ElijahManor that prints out information about myself.
