build-commit

Commit built files without polluting git

build-commit is a CLI app which is able to build your package, commit the build files, and do this without polluting git.

Installation

To use it from shell install it globally:

npm install build-commit -g

To only use it for one package

npm install build-commit --save-dev

Usage

The basic usage is to add the following to your scripts entry of your package.json:

"build-commit": "build-commit -o dist",

Which builds the package (using npm run build by default), and adds dist folder to your repository. You can run this using:

npm run build-commit

For more options see the next section.
