Development and Release Process

Previewing Template Changes

Pushing changes to the main branch will trigger the ci.yml GitHub action which will:

1. Use the CLI to create a templated project.
2. Run the tests in the newly created project.
3. It will then deploy the project to Vercel.

Publishing a New Version

To publish a new package version of create-nhollas-app:

1. Ensure all your changes are merged to the main branch
2. Go to the GitHub repository release page here
3. Click "Draft a new release"
4. Give it a title and describe the changes
5. Create a new tag using semantic versioning (e.g., 1.2.0)
6. Publish the release

This will trigger the publish.yml GitHub action which will:

1. Sets up a Node.js environment
2. Installs all dependencies
3. Extracts the version number from your release tag
4. Updates the package.json version to match
5. Builds the package via the prepublishOnly script
6. Publishes the new version to npm
