From a91a470b71e08ccf6a75d4fb8c9937789fa8d067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kelvin Jin Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 08:15:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Specify that --dry-run isn't available in older versions of npm publish (#83) Not sure when `--dry-run` was introduced, I assume it was introduced in npm 6 (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, hopefully this will prevent future developers from making the mistake of using it in npm 5 (like I did).
