Publish a Node Script to npm registry¶

Create an npm account if you don't have one:
```
npm adduser 
```
If you're using a scoped package (starting with @), configure npm:
```
npm config set scope your-username
```
Make sure you're logged in:
```
npm login
```

Test your package locally:

npm link 
terminal-portfolio  # to test the command

Publish to npm:
```
npm publish --access public
```

Additional publishing tips¶

Use npm version patch/minor/major to update version numbers
Test the package thoroughly before publishing
Make sure your .gitignore and .npmignore are properly configured
Include appropriate keywords in package.json for better discoverability

After publishing, users can install your package using:

npx @yourusername/terminal-portfolio

Remember to:

Choose a unique package name
Keep your npm account credentials secure
Update the version number when you make changes
Include appropriate documentation
Test the installation process on a clean system

To further update and publish add the following script to package.json and run any of them

{
...
script: {
    ...
        "version:patch": "npm version patch && git push && git push --tags && npm publish --access public",
        "version:minor": "npm version minor && git push && git push --tags && npm publish --access public",
        "version:major": "npm version major && git push && git push --tags && npm publish --access public",
        "publish:patch": "git add . && git commit -m \"patch update\" && npm run version:patch",
        "publish:minor": "git add . && git commit -m \"minor update\" && npm run version:minor",
        "publish:major": "git add . && git commit -m \"major update\" && npm run version:major"
    ...
}
...
}

Now you can use these commands:

For quick version updates (if changes are already committed):

npm run version:patch  # For bug fixes (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1) 
npm run version:minor  # For new features (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0) 
npm run version:major  # For breaking changes (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)

For complete updates including committing changes:

npm run publish:patch  # Commits changes and publishes patch update 
npm run publish:minor  # Commits changes and publishes minor update 
npm run publish:major  # Commits changes and publishes major update

These scripts will:

Update the version number
Push changes to git
Push tags to git
Publish to npm
