What are instructions we can follow to reproduce the issue?

ember new test-app; cd ./test-app # Create a new ember app
ember install ember-cli-typescript # Set up typescript support

npm install --save-dev https://github.com/Krzema/test-addon 

Now about that bug. What did you expect to see?

I expected to add my remote github addon (test-addon) to application. This addon is simple addon generated by ember-cli:

ember addon test-addon
ember install ember-cli-typescript

and pushed to GitHub

What happened instead?

I get an error below:

D:\Projekty\test-addons\test-app>npm install --save-dev https://github.com/Krzema/test-addon 

> test-addon@0.0.0 prepack C:\Users\lkrzeminski\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_cacache\tmp\git-clone-311fb67e
> ember ts:precompile

The specified command ts:precompile is invalid. For available options, see `ember help`.

It looks like it can't execute command ember ts:precompile. I assume, that npm first clone repo from github, then fire this prepack script. It is done before npm install is executed in addon, so there is no ember-cli-typescript in node_modules, so he didn't recognize ember ts:precompile command. Am I right?
Everything is working fine if I install this addon locally by: npm install -save-dev D:\Projects\test-addon and run ember ts:precompile manually in my addon.

After getting back to this issue after some time, it turns out that when i publish that package to npm, and install it via npm everything works fine. I searched for some addon written in typescript to do the same test - for instance I found ember-link. If I install it by npm install --save-dev ember-link everything is ok. If I do it by npm install --save-dev https://github.com/buschtoens/ember-link it's throwing this error about ember ts:precompile

Command failed with exit code 1: npm install --save-dev --loglevel error https://github.com/buschtoens/ember-link
The specified command ts:precompile is invalid. For available options, see `ember help`.

Is it good behaviour, or something is wrong with my computer?

UPDATE:
After some more researches I found that if you install package from git, devDeps will be installed only if you have prepare script defined in package.json (details).
So I find a solution, but it's a little bit dirty, I think. If I add to my addon package.json to scripts "prepare": "echo PREPARE", I can install it in my app from git directly - npm install --save-dev https://github.com/Krzema/test-addon
