Description

@KnorpelSenf

It is a very common use case for Node.js users to try out changes to an npm package by installing it from a git branch on GitHub.

npm install github:org/repo#branch

This lets people try out fixes so that they can confirm that a certain branch works as expected.

Typically, for TypeScript projects, there is a prepare script in the package.json file that performs any necessary build steps.

How would people have to change their workflow if a package is moved to JSR? Ideally, I would love to retain support for GitHub installs.
