npm install private github repositories by depende

Question

I'm trying to install github private repository by npm that includes other private github repositories as dependency.

Have tried a lot of ways and posts but none is working. Here is what i'm doing :

npm install git+https://github.com/myusername/mygitrepository.git

in package.json is like :

"dependencies": {
    "repository1name": "git+https://github.com/myusername/repository1.git",
    "repository2name": "git+https://github.com/myusername/repository2.git"
}

What is the the right way to do it?

Answer 1

Try this:

"dependencies" : {
  "name1" : "git://github.com/user/project.git#commit-ish",
  "name2" : "git://github.com/user/project.git#commit-ish"
}

You could also try this, where visionmedia/express is name/repo:

"dependencies" : {
   "express" : "visionmedia/express"
}

Or (if the npm package module exists):

"dependencies" : {
  "name": "*"
}

Taken from NPM docs

Answer 2

The following worked just fine in all scenarios i needed :

"dependencies": {
"GitRepo": "git+https://<token-from-github>:[e-mail]/<user>/<GitRepo>.git"
}
