gl-npm

npm distribution for the gitlawb CLI.

Packages

Package	Description
@gitlawb/gl	Main wrapper — auto-selects the correct binary
@gitlawb/gl-darwin-arm64	macOS Apple Silicon binary
@gitlawb/gl-darwin-x64	macOS Intel binary
@gitlawb/gl-linux-arm64	Linux ARM binary
@gitlawb/gl-linux-x64	Linux x64 binary

Publishing

After a gitlawb release is tagged and binaries are uploaded to GitHub:

./scripts/publish.sh 0.3.7

This downloads the release binaries, copies them into platform packages, and publishes all 5 packages to npm.

How it works

1. User runs npm install -g @gitlawb/gl
2. npm resolves optionalDependencies — only installs the matching platform package (via os/cpu fields)
3. postinstall runs install.js which copies binaries from the platform package into bin/
4. gl and git-remote-gitlawb are now available in PATH

Adding to CI

Add this step after the Homebrew dispatch in your release workflow:

- name: Publish to npm
  env:
    NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
  run: |
    echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}" > ~/.npmrc
    cd gl-npm
    ./scripts/publish.sh ${{ github.ref_name }}
