<commit_before>Node.js - npm-latest
====================

Quickly find the latest version of a package in `npm`.



Why?
----

I often forget which package version I need to put as a dependency in my packages. Running `npm info [package]` and then scrolling up scanning JSON became annoying.

**Update:**

Thanks to @timoxley for pointing out that a very viable alternative would be to just run:

    npm install --save packagename@latest

It has the added bonus of updating your package.json file as well.



Installation
------------

    npm install -g npm-latest



Example
------

    npm-latest express

output:

      express: 

        latest: 3.0.0rc2
