NPM Best Practice

Create a new Pull Request (PR)

Generally, you want to create a new branch before adding code to the repo. Before creating a new branch, make sure that the origin branch is up-to-date.

Update origin branch

1. git fetch

2. git pull

Create new branch

1. git checkout -b new_branch_name

Push changes to the origin branch

Notice: the message you add to your commit can contain keywords like 'close', 'fix', 'resolve'...

1. git add .

2. git commit -am "...message..."

3. git push -u origin new_branch_name

Switch to origin branch and delete local branch

1. git checkout dev

2. git branch -d new_branch_name

Publish the changes to NPM

When publishing the new version to NPM:

1. Change version inside package.json (depending on the change, minor or breaking change)

2. Login to npm with proper credentials: npm login

3. Publish the new pakcage to npm: npm publish
