+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).
