Another approach would be to add the following line to package.json dependencies:

"package-name": "user/repo#branch"

For example:

"dependencies": {
    ... other dependencies ...

    "react-native": "facebook/react-native#master"
}

And then do npm install or yarn install

you can give git pattern as version  yarn and npm are clever enough to resolve from a git repo   yarn add any-package user-name repo-name branch-name   or for npm  npm install --save any-package user-name repo-name branch-name

Tried suggested answers  but got it working only with this prefix approach   npm i github user repo git version --save -D

Just do  npm install username repo branchName --save  e g   my username is betimer  npm i betimer rtc-attach master --save     this will appear in your package json   quot rtc-attach quot    quot github betimer rtc-attach master quot   One thing I also want to mention  it s not a good idea to check in the package json for the build server auto pull the change  Instead  put the npm i  first command  into the build command  and let server just install and replace the package  One more note  if the package json private is set to true  may impact sometimes
