create-nm

npm init nm to create a npm module.

Never manually do the linting, versioning, tagging, editing changelog and pushing commit, unleash the power of hooks.

• use npm

# choose one of the following methods
$ npm init nm [name]
$ npx create-nm [name]
$ npm i -g create-nm && create-nm [name]

• use yarn

$ yarn create nm [name]

                              npm publish

Optional workflow

Use git cz instead of git commit, this will generate better changelog. You need to install commitizen and create ~/.czrc.

$ npm install commitizen -g
$ echo '{ "path": "cz-conventional-changelog" }' > ~/.czrc

Workflow:

$ git cz
$ npm publish
