+section: 1
+description: Browse an installed package
+---
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+npm explore <pkg> [ -- <command>]
+```
+
+### Description
+
+Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.
+
+If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then
+immediately terminates.
+
+This is particularly handy in the case of git submodules in the
+`node_modules` folder:
+
+```bash
+npm explore some-dependency -- git pull origin master
+```
+
+Note that the package is *not* automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be
+sure to use `npm rebuild <pkg>` if you make any changes.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### shell
+
+* Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd" on
+  Windows
+* Type: path
+
+The shell to run for the `npm explore` command.
