Script for publishing npm to Npm repository.
This package is used as binary nodejs package. That means it can be used from command line if installed globaly. Running this package will update version according parameters. Then it will publish module to npm registry (repository). It is similar to npm version but it does not force pushing to git.
After global installation (with proper configuration of npm registry): npm install -g npm-publish-package
you can use following to display help: npp -h
. You can also use this without global installation. You can put it into devDependencies and use it in package.json scripts section.
npm-publish-package (npp)
