You can add any Git repository  or tarball  as a dependency to yarn by specifying the remote URL  either HTTPS or SSH   yarn add  lt git remote url gt  installs a package from a remote git repository  yarn add  lt git remote url gt   lt branch commit tag gt  installs a package from a remote git repository at specific git branch  git commit or git tag  yarn add https   my-project org package tgz installs a package from a remote gzipped tarball   Here are some examples  yarn add https   github com fancyapps fancybox  remote url  yarn add ssh   github com fancyapps fancybox 3 0   branch  yarn add https   github com fancyapps fancybox 5cda5b529ce3fb6c167a55d42ee5a316e921d95f  commit    Note  Fancybox v2 6 1 isn t available in the Git version   To support both npm and yarn  you can use the git url syntax  git https   github com owner package git commithashortagorbranch git ssh   github com owner package git commithashortagorbranch
