Dependency reference used incorrect github syntax

[clov3r]

npm install -g angular-cli fails on OSX 10.11.6 with node v4.2.6 (npm v2.1.11), giving the following error:

npm ERR! Darwin 15.6.0
npm ERR! argv "/Users/clov3r/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.6/bin/node" "/Users/clov3r/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.6/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "angular-cli"

As of version 1.1.65, you can refer to GitHub urls as just "foo": "user/foo-project". Just as with git URLs, a commit-ish suffix can be included.

FYI. The quote is referring to the previous need to use a full git url to access github. In addition, NPM 3 added the option to use URL protocol specifiers for various git sources (github, bitbucket, and others).

Also, as per the CLI README (which was recently updated to clarify the requirements), NPM 3+ is required by the CLI.

Closed as npm3 is a hard requirement of this project.
