ngitpm

Ngitpm is a tool for managing git-url-based private dependencies within an npm project, without pushing your private packages to NPM. It does this by maintaining a very simple json file NPM repository stored in s3.

Audience

Ngitpm is intended for small to medium development teams with requirements to manage closed source or private dependencies, along side regular npm dependencies. Ngitpm is intended as a free replacement for NPM Enterprise, if you have a very large team and/or strict publishing ACL requirements you should probably look at paying for NPM Enterprise.

Caveats

• Race conditions for publish are stompy in nature, last write wins.
• Requires access to s3 and the ability to create AWS IAM credentials.
• Authentication credentials are stored in the repository, anyone with repository access can publish to the repository.

How it works

Installation:

$ npm install -g ngitpm

In your private package root (requires package.json and valid git repo):

# s3 creds require write access 
$ ngitpm init <s3 bucket> <s3 key> <s3 secret>
$ ngitpm publish
published revision 2.4.1

In packages that require your private package:

# s3 creds require read access only 
$ ngitpm init <s3 bucket> <s3 key> <s3 secret>
$ ngitpm list <package name>
2.4.1
2.3.9
2.3.8
2.3.7
 
$ ngitpm install <package name> 2.4.1
