Use the Application Repository

clone git from https://github.com/cnichte/.git

npm install
# backup the .gitignore (rename it)
# then remove the git:
rm -rf .git*
# and init your own:
git init

run the commands:

#start the app
npm start
# builds a zip in /out/make/zip/darwin/arm64
# you have to extract the zip an lauch the executable file
npm run make
# publish on github (has to be setup)
npm run publish

Coding

Made with VS-Code. Recomended Plugins:

• Better Comments
• Todo Tree
• Wakatime ()

Quick ZIP

zip -r werkverzeichnis-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").zip . -x '/node_modules/**' '/release/**' '/out/**' '.git/*' '.webpack/*' '.erb/*' '.vscode/*' '*.zip'

Should run without errors.

Update outdated packages

check for outdated packages

# check 
npm outdated
# or better use: npx npm-check-updates
ncu
# install ncu if absent
npm i npm-check-updates
# Doc: https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates

be careful when updating. I do a quick local backup before updating.

ncu -u
#or - with space to deselect, and enter to execute
ncu -i
# or
ncu -i --format group

In this case updating eslint, causes problems. I have to wait until all installed dependent packages are updated.

Major   Potentially breaking API changes
❯ ◯ eslint  ^8.0.1  →  ^9.2.0
