 ## Testing packages locally on other projects
 
-There are some ways you can link this repository packages to other projects before publishing. You can symlink dependencies with [`npm link <package>`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link), or install packages from the filesystem using [`npm install <folder>`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install). But they are subject to some externalities and most importantly with how your package manager handles the lifecycle of packages during installs.

 _Note: Git references do not work with monorepo setups out of the box due to the lack of directory traversal on the syntax. E.g.:_

 _One way to fetch packages remotely from GitHub before publishing is using [gitpkg.now.sh](https://gitpkg.now.sh/)._
