Package and Registry...

For this weeks lab, I had to release my CLI tool to an official registry. For this I chose NPM. As well, I had to tag my release on GitHub as well as the registry.

• 
  Reconfigured my project. Moved around some files and imports to allow for the project to be run as an NPM module. Without this I could not properly build the project to a js equivalent and publish it.


• 
  Ran the build script. Used bun run build to build the project to a js app from my ts files.


• 
  Made an npm account. Made an account with .
