Add repository.directory field to package.json

[ybiquitous]

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

I executed the npm repo remark-lint command on my terminal, but https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main opens unexpectedly on my browser, instead of https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-lint.

I think it useful to open https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-lint, like @babel-core.
For example, when executing npm repo @babel-core, https://github.com/babel/babel/tree/master/packages/babel-core opens.

We can say that to other packages in this mono repo, like unified-lint-rule.

Solution

What about adding the repository.directory field to package.json of all the published packages, like @babel/core?

For example:

remark-lint/packages/remark-lint/package.json

Line 16 in b9d3848

"repository": "https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-lint",

-  "repository": "https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-lint",
+  "repository": {
+    "type": "git",
+    "url": "https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint.git",
+    "directory": "packages/remark-lint"
+  }

Sounds like a good add, would you be interested in opening a PR adding the metadata to packages @ybiquitous?

[ybiquitous]

Yes, I'll open a PR today later.
