Thanks for highlighting this use case. I have done this in the past but seemed to run into issues with the linking. Maybe I should give it another go though as does save a few steps.
However, I still like the additional confidence of working off the same item that will actually end up in npm.
I didn't know about this method, I always use npm link.
For developing this is very handy as it is also possible to get autorefresh/hmr
For testing a package before publishing using npm pack seems like a much better alternative because npm link does not care about the files property. All files in the project are included as it is just a symlink.
And I just found out that this should work as well:
npm install https://github.com/username/repo.git
Thanks for sharing!
