Publishing

As we are here in the NodeJS world there is not really a choice. The NPM is the only repository used here. But it can be used using the default npm tool or the alternative yarn tool.

1. Publish in Git

First if you have a develop branche you have to merge it with the master. After this you may set a tag.

$ git checkout master
$ git merge develop
$ git tag -a v3.0.1 -m "version 3.0.1 with bug fixes"

2. Publish to Repository

It is an easy task as already described in the description of the tools.

$ npm publish

While npm published the package using the version from package.json, Yarn will interactively ask for it and update package.json for you.

After the first package was released you can also use a badge on your README.md like:

[![npm package](

  https://www.npmjs.com/package/alinex-rest)
[![latest version](
