title: npm-explore
section: 1
description: Browse an installed package
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
```
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
### Description
Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.
If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then
immediately terminates.
This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the
`node_modules` folder:
```bash
npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master
```
Note that the package is *not* automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be
sure to use `npm rebuild <pkg>` if you make any changes.
