A better npm publish

• Ensures you are publishing from the master branch
• Ensures the working directory is clean and that there are no unpulled changes
• Reinstalls dependencies to ensure your project works with the latest dependency tree
• Runs the tests
• Bumps the version in package.json and creates a git tag
• Publishes the new version to npm, optionally under a dist-tag
• Pushes commits and tags to GitHub

$ npm install --global np

$ np --help

  Usage
    $ np [major | minor | patch | premajor | preminor | prepatch | prerelease | <version>] (Default: patch)

  Options
    --any-branch    Allow publishing from any branch
    --skip-cleanup  Skips cleanup of node_modules
    --yolo          Skips cleanup and testing
    --tag           Publish under a given dist-tag

  Examples
    $ np
    $ np major
    $ np 1.0.2
    $ np 1.0.2-beta.3 --tag=beta

You can use any of the test/version/publish related npm lifecycle hooks to add extra behavior.
