for node? you can use npm link (allegedly, i've had issues myself) or npm install pointing directly at a file path

ya I've played with both. I'm not really a node dev so I was looking for some opinions on fully working setups that don't have reinstall loops.

I use yarn link @pulumi/aws etc for local development

So I run npm install and then yarn link over the top and it works

Most of the `Makefiles` in the pulumi projects run `yarn link` for you.

so the setup on a new machine would be?
```
git clone component_repo
cd component_repo
yarn link
cd ..
git clone project1_repo
cd project1_repo
yarn install
```

```
git clone component_repo
cd component_repo
make
cd ..
git clone project1_repo
cd project1_repo
yarn install
```

so make in component_repo does a `yarn link @component` and the component_repo dependency in project1_repo specified is specified as `{ "peerDependencies": { "@compnent": "latest" }}` which makes the whole thing just work?

the project repo shouldn't need anything else besides a `yarn install`,  the package manager symlinks the linked package in globally anywhere its used in your system
