"Participating in open source has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career." ~Kent C. Dodds. Setup new projects on GitHub, configure npm to publish the project to the npm registry, transpile the source with babel, add unit tests / code coverage and continuous integration (with Travis CI). Run tests automatically and report coverage stats to codecov.io. Automate releases with semantic-release and distribute a browser build with webpack, plus manage the community all in this course on publishing an open source library!
