Publishing

The xpub-lib and xpub-cli can be published to GitHub Packages by:

1. Incrementing the version field within the package.json file within each package you want to publish.
2. Creating a new tag with SemVer sytax (i.e. v0.0.1). Needs to match v*.
3. Creating a new GitHub release using this tag. This will start the publish workflow.

The workflow will need to be approved by another user with write access before its executed. If published successfully, the packages will be published here.
