npm-release-helper

This tool is for code that has a pre-publish build step, but is not on the public NPM registry. i.e. remote git installs.

The tool puts the built code is only on your master branch and not your develop branch. The tool puts only the tagged version commits onto master, so an import without a commit-ish should fetch the latest tagged version.

installation

npm install -g npm-release-helper

usage

In repo.

npm-release-helper <version> where version is the same argument as to npm version <version>.

prerequistes

1. npm run build is defined and puts build artifacts in one dir (by default lib/)
2. release and devlopment branchs (by default master and develop) exist and have the upstream configured
