Simple release & publish (npmjs)

1. Commit your changes

   git add . && git commit -m "chore: update"

2. Build

   npm run build

3. Bump version (creates commit + tag)

   patch / minor / major

   npm version patch -m "chore(release): v%s"

   or

   npm version minor -m "chore(release): v%s"

   npm version major -m "chore(release): v%s"

4. Push commit + tag

   git push origin main --follow-tags

5. Ensure npm authentication

   Verify you are logged into npmjs (public registry)

   npm whoami --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/ || npm login --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

   If using CI, set an environment variable NPM_TOKEN and use an npmrc entry like:

   //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

   NEVER commit a token into the repo. Put a project-level .npmrc in CI only or use the CI provider's secret store.

6. Publish

   npm publish --access public --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Verify:

npm view @cal3574/shared-utils-link-vault versions --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Install (consumer):

npm install @cal3574/shared-utils-link-vault

Notes:

• This package is published to npmjs.org for public, tokenless consumption by consumers.
• If you need to publish to GitHub Packages instead, follow the project docs but note that GitHub Packages requires authenticating to https://npm.pkg.github.com/.
