To copy the version, name and dependency list from a root package.json to child packages:

```bash
$ copy-partial-json -s package.json -t one/package.json -t two/package.json -k version name dependencies
```

Using npm scripts this can be done automatically when `npm version` is run:

```json
{
    "scripts": {
        "version": "copy-partial-json -g -t childOne/package.json -k version"
    }
}
```
