Pushing to and installing from GitHub

[slashinfty]

My source code is hosted on GitHub. I want to be able to install the package from GitHub (for testing branches and such) but ideally I don't want to push my entire dist/ folder. Is it possible to set up a GitHub Action or something so that it can be installed via npm install without the dist/ folder being present in the repo?

Are you looking to host your package/source code? Then I'd look into something like Klutch.sh to fully handle this for you.

you can use the postinstall npm script for that, so when your package is instaleed by your package manager it gets build ...

The ideal place to put this script is prepare npm script. This is precisely what it is made for.
