### How to publish a new release

1. On the `main` branch, bump the version number in `package.json`:

    ```sh
    npm version patch
    ```

    Instead of `patch`, use `minor` or `major` [as needed](https://semver.org/).

    Note that this produces a Git commit + tag.

1. Push the release commit and tag:

    ```sh
    git push && git push --tags
    ```

    Our CI then automatically publishes the new release to npm.
