npm.command.link(packages, callback)</code></pre>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Package linking is a two-step process.</p>
<p>Without parameters, link will create a globally-installed
symbolic link from <code>prefix/package-name</code> to the current folder.</p>
<p>With a parameters, link will create a symlink from the local <code>node_modules</code>
folder to the global symlink.</p>
<p>When creating tarballs for <code>npm publish</code>, the linked packages are
"snapshotted" to their current state by resolving the symbolic links.</p>
<p>This is
handy for installing your own stuff, so that you can work on it and test it
iteratively without having to continually rebuild.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code>npm.commands.link(cb) # creates global link from the cwd
# (say redis package)
npm.commands.link('redis', cb) # link-install the package</code></pre>
<p>Now, any changes to the redis package will be reflected in
the package in the current working directory</p>
