npm-publish(1) -- Publish a package
===================================
## SYNOPSIS
npm publish <tarball> [--tag <tag>] [--access <public|restricted>]
npm publish <folder> [--tag <tag>] [--access <public|restricted>]
## DESCRIPTION
Publishes a package to the registry so that it can be installed by name. All
files in the package directory are included if no local `.gitignore` or
`.npmignore` file is present. See `npm-developers(7)` for full details on
what's included in the published package, as well as details on how the package
is built.
By default npm will publish to the public registry. This can be overridden by
specifying a different default registry or using a `npm-scope(7)` in the name
(see `package.json(5)`).
* `<folder>`:
A folder containing a package.json file
* `<tarball>`:
A url or file path to a gzipped tar archive containing a single folder
with a package.json file inside.
* `[--tag <tag>]`
Registers the published package with the given tag, such that `npm install
<name>@<tag>` will install this version. By default, `npm publish` updates
and `npm install` installs the `latest` tag. See `npm-dist-tag(1)` for
details about tags.
* `[--access <public|restricted>]`
Tells the registry whether this package should be published as public or
restricted. Only applies to scoped packages, which default to `restricted`.
If you don't have a paid account, you must publish with `--access public`
to publish scoped packages.
Fails if the package name and version combination already exists in
the specified registry.
Once a package is published with a given name and version, that
specific name and version combination can never be used again, even if
it is removed with npm-unpublish(1).
