Basics on How to publish packages to npm

• create a npm account and login

npm login
unername: naretini

• create npm project:

  mkdir npm-hello-world && cd $_
  npm init --scope=naretini

• publish to npm (publicly): [ If your repository has a scope, you need to adjust the publish command ]

 npm publish --access public

• create a repo on github and link to it:

   git init
   git remote add origin [email protected]:naretini/npm-hello-world.git

Best practice before (npm) publish:

Steps:

• Run tests (if there are any)
• Update version in package.json according to Semver
• Create a git tag according to Semver
• Push the package to Github
• Push the package to npm
• Create release notes for every update

Or use np [https://github.com/sindresorhus/np] - A better npm publish

 npm install --global np
 np --help

• add repo info to package.json to publish release / tags on github

"repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "[email protected]:naretini/npm-hello-world.git"
  }
