   Synopsis
         npm edit <pkg>[/<subpkg>...]

   Description
       Selects a (sub)dependency in the current working directory and opens the package folder in
       the default editor (or whatever  you've  configured  as  the  npm  editor  config  --  see

       then npm edit connect to make a few changes to your locally installed copy.
