[🔗](https://github.com/elixir-volt/npm_ex/blob/v0.7.4/lib/mix/tasks/npm.link.ex#L1)

Link a local package directory into `node_modules/`.

    mix npm.link ../my-lib          # Link local package
    mix npm.link ../my-lib --copy   # Copy instead of symlink

Reads the package name from the linked directory's `package.json`
and creates a symlink (or copy) in `node_modules/`.
