Any matching installed packages are rebuilt. + +## DESCRIPTION + +This command runs the `npm build` command on the matched folders. This is useful +when you install a new version of node, and must recompile all your C++ addons with +the new binary. + +Regardless of the configuration settings, rebuild always sets `update-dependents` +and `auto-activate` to false, to minimize unexpected side effects. It does not +change any state outside of the package's folder. |
