npm publish [< tarball >|< folder >] [--tag < tag >] [--access < public|restricted >] [--otp otpcode]

Sets tag 'latest' if no --tag specified

version

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version

npm version [< newversion > | major | minor | patch | premajor | preminor | prepatch | prerelease | from-git]

'npm [-v | --version]' to print npm version
'npm view <pkg> version' to view a package's published version
'npm ls' to inspect current package/dependency versions

The newversion argument should be a valid semver string, a valid second argument to semver.inc (one of patch, minor, major, prepatch, preminor, premajor, prerelease), or from-git.

In the second case, the existing version will be incremented by 1 in the specified field. from-git will try to read the latest git tag, and use that as the new npm version.
