Usage

Once you've forked this template, here's a few first steps to get you started:

1. Do a global search & replace for the following strings, in order:
   • @natoboram/gigachad.ts: This will become your package name
   • NatoBoram/gigachad.ts: This makes links to your repository
   • Nato Boram: Your author name for package.json
   • NatoBoram: Your GitHub username
   • gigachad.ts: The name of your new repository
   • gigachad: The name of the command-line interface exposed by this package
2. Choose an open source license
   • Delete the existing one in LICENSE.txt and place your own
   • Find your license in the SPDX License List and put it in package.json
3. In your repository's /settings/rules, import the rulesets main.json and v.json then delete those files
   • Adapt the rules to your needs. For example, you may want to disable CodeQL or the fix workflow.
4. Remove the placeholder release in CHANGELOG.md
5. Update .github/CODEOWNERS to require code reviews from specific users or teams
6. Update .github/FUNDING.yaml with your own sponsorship links
7. In CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, update the contact link in the "Enforcement" section
8. Remove the parts you don't need with the help of the commands below

Publishing

This template offers a GitHub Workflow to help you automatically publish a version to both the NPM public registry, the GitHub Package Registry and in GitHub Releases on the push of a tag.

Start by updating your version number:

git checkout main
git pull --autostash --prune --rebase
VERSION=$(pnpm version patch --no-git-tag-version)
git checkout -b "release/$VERSION"
git commit --all --message "🔖 $VERSION"
git push --set-upstream origin "release/$VERSION"
gh pr create --assignee @me --base main --draft --fill-verbose --head "release/$VERSION" --title "🔖 $VERSION"

Once your CI passes, merge the pull request, wait for the CI to pass again then push a new tag:

git checkout main
git pull --autostash --prune --rebase
git tag "$VERSION" --annotate --message "🔖 $VERSION" --sign
git push --tags

To publish on NPM, you'll need to provide your NPM token.

1. Sign in to https://www.npmjs.com
2. Access Tokens / Generate New Token / Classic Token / Automation / Generate Token
3. Copy that token and save it in your project's secrets at /settings/secrets/actions/new with the name NODE_AUTH_TOKEN
