Rapid Iteration with github-sdm project

When working on both this project and github-sdm, it helps to be able to avoid npm publish cycles. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to wherever you've checked out github-sdm, and cd to the build/src directory. Type npm link.
Wherever you've checked out sample-sdm or any other project importing github-sdm as an npm module, type npm link @atomist/sdm.

Notes:

The link will survive until you run npm install in sample-sdm or another downstream project. You will need to run npm link again if you install anything via npm.
If you have changed sample-sdm code to depend on a change to github-sdm, do not push to master until you have updated package.json to refer to the updated npm pre-release or release build and run npm install to update the package lock.
Do not push to sample-sdm master anything that depends on a branch of github-sdm other than master.
