Why not push on npm?

I can't find it on npm install node-touch

Sorry found it as touch, maybe readme.md should be updated 👍

@dotnetwise Yeah, there's a convention in the Node.js community of naming packages "blah" on npm, because we think of the package within the Node.js community as just "blah", but naming the git repo "node-blah", to distinguish it from other "blah" projects outside of any particular Node.js association.

Kinda like how Java devs love jBlah, Common Lisp programmers love cl-blah, and Pythonistas love pyblah.

This was one of my earlier modules. Usually these days, I'd just name the git repo touch rather than node-touch. The isaacs/... part of the url already kinda implies it's node-related ;)

Lol, I go through rounds and rounds of updating a dozen little Node projects, as I pickup idioms I never knew before.

... did you know npm can be used to manage client-side JS libs as well? :)
