:package: [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/extra-npm),

Do you want to?<br>
- Clone NPM package to local or GitHub?
- Initialize Node.js reporitory on GitHub?
- Push changes to both Git and NPM?
- Get root package path?
- Search for packages, with special fields?
- Validate Node.js package fields?
- View registry info about a package?
- Locate a program or locally installed node module executable?

This is an extension of [npm] with some commonly used commands. Some
improvements are still needed here. You can install this with
`npm install -g extra-npm`.

> Stability: Experimental.
