Options

Default behavior is to link all found dependencies including devDependencies and all peerDependencies from them. If your needs are more specific, you can give orders within your package.json:

{
    "linkall": [
        // to only link up pkg1 and pk2, if found..
        "pkg1",
        "pkg2"
    ],
    // or
    "linkall": [
        "dev":true, // to include devDeps
        "dep":true  // to include deps
    ]
}
