+# Publishing to npm:
+
+## Manual Way
+```bash
+   git pull https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs.git master
+   vim package.json # updating version number
+   git commit -am 'the version number'
+   git push --follow-tags origin master
+   npm publish
+```
+
+## release-it
+Alternately, I use [release-it](https://github.com/webpro/release-it). Assuming the version is 1.2.1 to publish:
+
+```
+git pull https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs.git master
+release-it 1.2.1
+```
+
+Take the defaults, except answer y to the final question to publish.

+Notes on the npm supporting fork
+=======================================
+We forked from the official version at https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs to support npm.
+
+* Reasons: [rails/jquery-ujs/issues/423](https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/issues/423) and 
+  [rails/jquery-ujs/pull/380](https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/pull/380)
+* We'll do our best to keep the npm version consistent with the version used by jquery-ujs.
+* There should be 2 files that differ: Addition of a `package.json` and changes ONLY to the top of the README.md
+* For advice on how to use the npm version with Rails and Webpack, see 
+  [shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial/pull/88](https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial/pull/88) and 
+  [forum article on considerations for jquery with Rails and webpack](http://forum.railsonmaui.com/t/considerations-for-jquery-with-rails-and-webpack/344).
