How to Release to NPM

Drakov uses release-it to perform the release process.

You must have authenticated to NPM using npm login
Ensure one is not on any Corporate VPN or using Proxies that might get in the way...
Have GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set to a Github OAUth token that can be used to perform Github functions (tagging, creating releases etc)
You will be prompted for a One-Time Passphrase during the release if your NPM account has that setup

Official Major Release

  npm run release -- major

One can use minor and patch as well for the release versioning. --dry-run can be useful to see what is being done without doing anything.

(anything after the -- is release-it arguments, see documentation)
