Description

Say I just pushed an update to a lib.

In my application I have this lib npm linked.

When I deploy the app I need the version to be up to date. But I want to keep the npm link.

At the moment I lose the link.

The implementation would ask me to confirm overwriting npm linked modules. The default would be not to. The UI should also indicate whether a module is linked.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how npm check currently detects linked modules and where the prompt should be added to ask for confirmation before overwriting the link.
