Bun supports directly adding GitHub repositories as dependencies of your project.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun add github:lodash/lodash
```
---
This adds the following line to your `package.json`:
```json package.json icon="file-json"
{
"dependencies": {
"lodash": "github:lodash/lodash"
}
}
```
---
Bun supports several protocols for specifying Git dependencies.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun add git+https://github.com/lodash/lodash.git
bun add git+ssh://github.com/lodash/lodash.git#4.17.21
bun add [email protected]:lodash/lodash.git
bun add github:lodash/lodash#4.17.21
```
When possible, Bun downloads GitHub dependencies as HTTP tarballs, which is faster.
