Npm Git Install

This handles installing npm packages directly from GitHub repos, which is surprisingly useful when you need to pull from a specific branch, test unreleased code, or install a private package before it hits the registry. It covers both HTTPS and SSH authentication, supports the GitHub shorthand syntax, and automatically runs prepare scripts so TypeScript packages compile on install. The skill documentation is thorough on syntax variants and common use cases like installing from forks or specific commits. If you're regularly working with packages that aren't on npm yet or need to reference git URLs in your package.json, this is a solid reference to have around.
