Title Body

I have several apps in node that all share a few modules that I've written. These modules are not available via npm. I would like to be able to share freely between apps, but I don't want to copy directories around, nor rely on Git to do so. And I'm not really big on using symlinks to do this either. I would like to arrange directories something like this: app1 server.js node_modules (public modules from npm needed for app1) lib (my own modules specific to app1) app2 server.js node_modules (public modules from npm needed for app2) lib (my own modules specific to app2) shared_lib (my own modules that are used in both app1 and app2) The problem I'm seeing is that the modules in shared_lib seem to get confused as to where to find the modules that will be in the node_modules directory of whichever app they are running in. At least I think that is the problem. So....what is a good way to do this that avoids having duplicates of files? (note that I don't care about duplicates of things in node_modules, since those aren't my code, I don't check them into Git, etc)
