Answer by Kim for Avoid bundling specific modules with Browserify

Use the --exclude option together with --node:

browserify --node -s GlobalVariable your-script.js -o bundle.js --exclude some-dependency

This will create the bundle.js file which will define the GlobalVariable variable if there is no CommonJS environment.

--node is a handy option if you want to run the bundle in Node, not in the browser.

The --exclude option will exclude the some-dependency module from the output bundle.
