**Summary** – `JS‑DevTools/npm‑publish` provides a lightweight GitHub Action (and CLI / JavaScript API) that automatically publishes a Node.js package to npm whenever the `version` field in `package.json` changes on a designated branch. It’s aimed at developers who want a simple, secure, and fully automated continuous‑deployment step for npm packages, especially those who are comfortable with GitHub Actions and need to trigger publishes on version updates without manually tagging or configuring release workflows.
