Does not recurse? #21

Thanks for this cool utility!

I have a dependency graph as so: Package A -> Package B -> Package C All packages define their localDependencies. Installing local Package A installs local Package B but Package B pulls Package C from npm.

I confirmed this by logging the npm commands. Is there an easy way to make this work? Thanks.

Recursive trees is not what it is designed for. You could try the following:

You could solve this by adding a install-local step in the postinstall script for Package B, however then it will ALWAYS do this, also if someone installs Package B from NPM.

Thanks for replying @nicojs. Honestly I think pnpm solves a lot of what i want to do. Good luck 👍
