Make user-installed global npm packages work with fish
Ever been frustrated that npm install -g just doesn't quite work? This fixes that. A fish plugin to make yarn global add <pkg> and npm install -g <pkg> work with your Fish shell.
Install
Using Fisherman:
fisher install rstacruz/fish-npm-global
Usage
With npm: You can add global packages via npm using npm install -g <package>:
npm install -g benny-hill
With yarn: You can add global packages via Yarn using yarn global add <packagename>:
yarn global add benny-hill
You'll now be able to run commands installed by yarn or npm!
# before: wtf is going on?
$ benny-hill --help
bash: benny-hill: command not found
# after: hooray!
$ benny-hill --help
Does it only work with fish?
To make your bins work outside of fish, put this into your ~/.profile:
export PATH="$HOME/.node_modules/bin:$PATH"
export npm_config_prefix="~/.node_modules"
How it works
