Publishing to npm

The unscoped name atomcli is blocked by npm (too similar to atom-cli). This package is published as @5devs/atomcli. The terminal command remains atom.

npm login
npm whoami          # should show: 5devs
npm run build
npm publish         # publishConfig.access is already "public"

After publish:

npx @5devs/atomcli init my-saas

Publish updates

npm version patch   # or minor / major
npm publish

Common issues

| Problem | Fix | | --- | --- | | 403 Package name too similar to atom-cli | Use scoped name @5devs/atomcli (already set) | | 402 Payment Required | Add "publishConfig": { "access": "public" } (already set) | | You cannot publish over the previously published versions | Bump the version number | | OTP required on publish | Use code from authenticator app: npm publish --otp=123456 |

Install from Git (without npm)

npm install -g github:rapazes/atom-cli
atom init my-saas
