How can I run a locally installed version of npm easily?

I have a repo which declares a dependency on npm@^2.7.5. In that repo:

npm -v: 1.4.23
./node_modules/.bin/npm -v: 2.7.6

As you can see, npm is installed globally and locally, as expected. But who wants to type out ./node_modules/.bin/npm everytime they want to use npm?

There must be a better way to do this... Any clues?

Try to define/create an alias. – ares777 Apr 10 '15 at 16:05
That's a good idea. I was hoping there would be an "npm way" to do this... – Shawn Apr 18 '15 at 17:47
