Set up a Github project to have CircleCI publish an npm patch

github_npm_publish_circleci__readme.md

1. From your local machine, generate an ssh key

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -C "email@domain.com"

2. Add the public key to your Github project's Deploy Keys
3. Add the private key to your CircleCI project's SSH keys (set the domain to "github.com")
4. Copy the fingerprint from the key you just added on CircleCI
5. Paste that fingerprint in your .circleci/config.yml under steps > add_ssh_keys > fingerprints
