Auto link

bosco link

Link automatically wires up all of your projects that have dependencies on other projects (via their package.json).

For example:

ProjectDepends
app-resourcemodule-redis, module-logger, module-config
service-resource-authormodule-mongodb, module-logger, module-config
module-redismodule-logger
module-logger
module-config

To get all of these (even in this small contrived example) linked up via npm link would require a lot of typing.

Link wires it all up automatically - so that any of your services will depend on the local checked out version of any of your modules.
