How to Install a NPM Module from GitHub Branch
In my journey to work more quickly with a project containing loads of dependencies, I've come across a few techniques I've not needed to use before. I previously wrote about How to Push to a Git Remote Branch of a Different Name -- this time we'll talk about installing a module from another repository instead of a published version.
To install a module from a GitHub branch instead of a tagged and published NPM module, simply reference the username, repository, and branch name:
"dependencies": {
"eth-ledger-bridge-keyring": "darkwing/eth-ledger-bridge-keyring#work-in-progress",
}
This pattern is useful for a host of reasons, especially when trying to rapidly develop from local branches. Feel free to leave off the branch name if you just want to use master branch!

Missing images on your website can make you or your business look completely amateur.
Unfortunately sometimes an image gets deleted or corrupted without your knowledge.
You'd agree with me that IE's default "red x" icon looks awful, so why not use
your own missing image graphic?
