NPM Install with Git Clone

Question

I have a nodejs project on GitHub. I use git clone ${GitHubUrl} to clone it for development. I use npm install ${GitHubUrl} or npm update for production use.

git clone sets up a git repo for development/committing, however it does not install package dependencies.

npm install installs package dependencies, however it does not set up a git repo for developing or committing.

Is there a command that combines these two? Surely this is a fairly common workflow and someone has a better solution for this. Perhaps something like git clone ${GitHubUrl} then some npm command?

A workable solution here could be commit ./node_modules into the git repo, but that has obvious disadvantages.

Answer 1

@SLaks has the right answer.

git clone foo && cd foo && npm i

I did not realize npm install with no additional arguments installs the local package.json file.
