Description

  • Node Version: >= 16
  • CitGM Version: 8.1.3
  • Platform: fedora Linux 6.1.8-100.fc36.x86_64

CITGM errors on node >= 16 when using github urls such as the npx citgm https://github.com/caolan/async/archive/HEAD.tar.gz ( copied from the example https://github.com/nodejs/citgm#notes )

Error: sh: line 1: citgm: command not found

This happens due to, npm view does not work for node >= 16

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with npx citgm https://github.com/caolan/async/archive/HEAD.tar.gz on Node >=16, then inspect lib/grab-module-data.js lines 14-18 and the npm view path. Done means the GitHub URL can be tested without the citgm: command not found error.
