Bun supports directly adding GitHub repositories as dependencies of your project.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun add github:lodash/lodash
```
---
This will add the following line to your `package.json`:
```json package.json icon="file-json"
{
"dependencies": {
"lodash": "github:lodash/lodash"
}
}
```
---
Bun supports a number of 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 git@github.com:lodash/lodash.git
bun add github:colinhacks/zod
```
**Note:** GitHub dependencies download via HTTP tarball when possible for faster installation.
