Should Node.js apps be published to npm? : <p>I am making a Node.js server application. It is hosted on GitHub and I thought that I would publish it to npm to make it easier to install for users.</p>

<p>The problem is, when I run npm install my-app, it installs it to the node_modules directory. I would like it to be installed into the current directory, kind of like a git clone would do.</p>

<p>Is this a valid use case for npm publish? Or should I just stick with the git clone, npm install, npm start flow?</p>
