--- title: npm-edit section: 1 description: Edit an installed package --- ### Synopsis <!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS --> Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### Description Selects a dependency in the current project and opens the package folder in the default editor (or whatever you've configured as the npm `editor` config -- see [`npm-config`](npm-config).) After it has been edited, the package is rebuilt so as to pick up any changes in compiled packages. For instance, you can do `npm install connect` to install connect into your package, and then `npm edit connect` to make a few changes to your locally installed copy. ### Configuration <!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS --> ### See Also * [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders) * [npm explore](/commands/npm-explore) * [npm install](/commands/npm-install) * [npm config](/commands/npm-config) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc)
