Getting started

1. Add this project as skeleton remote:

• For a new project:

  mkdir my-project && cd my-project
  git init
  git remote add skeleton https://github.com/amercier/npm-package-skeleton.git
  git remote set-url skeleton --push "Error: skeleton remote is read-only" # Disable pushing on skeleton
  git config remote.skeleton.tagOpt --no-tags # Disable fetching tags on skeleton
  git remote add origin <YOUR GIT REPOSITORY URL>
  git pull skeleton master --no-tags
  git push -u origin master

• For an existing project:
  
  Warning: this will erase all existing code and git history on master branch, use git reflog if you ever need to rollback.

  git remote add skeleton https://github.com/amercier/npm-package-skeleton.git
  git remote set-url skeleton --push "Error: skeleton remote is read-only"
  git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/master || git branch master # Create master branch if needed
  [[ refs/heads/master == $(git symbolic-ref --quiet HEAD) ]] || git checkout master # Switch to master branch
  git fetch skeleton --no-tags
  git reset --hard skeleton/master # Warning: this rewrites git history
  git push -f -u origin master

2. Set initial version (ex: 0.1.0) in package.json

3. Replace the following occurrences

• amercier/npm-package-skeleton → your repo slug
• npm-package-skeleton → your project name
• package-skeleton → your NPM package name
• Alex Mercier → your name
• pro.alexandre.mercier@gmail.com → your public email address
• https://amercier.com → your website

4. Import project in CI tools:

• Travis CI
• Codecov
• ESDoc

5. Add the following environment variables in your new Travis CI project's settings:

• NPM_AUTH_TOKEN: NPM authentication token, used for automatic NPM releasing. See documentation.

6. (Optional) Enable GreenKeeper: greenkeeper enable.

7. (Optional) Enable Snyk monitoring: snyk monitor.

8. (Optional) Add plugin-add-module-exports Babel plugin to avoid users of your packages having to use .default in ES5 style (see install documentation below).

9. Cleanup README.md by removing all documentation related to the skeleton.

Usage

Automatic releasing process

Note: you can try this process safely by releasing an "alpha" version. Ex: 0.1.0-alpha.2

• Update the package version in package.json (ex: 1.2.3), commit it, and push it.
• Tag the previously created commit (ex: v1.2.3), and push it (git push --tags).
• Travis build runs on tagged commit
• New package version is automatically released after tests have passed
