# Publishing
So the time has come to publish the latest version of ts-loader to npm. Exciting!
Before you can actually publish make sure the following statements are true:
- Tests should be green
- The version number in [package.json](package.json) has been incremented.
- The [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) has been updated with details of the changes in this release. Where possible include the details of the issues affected and the PRs raised.
OK - you're actually ready. We're going to publish. Here we need to tread carefully. Follow these steps:
- clone ts-loader from the main repo with this command: `git clone https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader.git`
- [Login to npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/adduser) if you need to: `npm login`
- install ts-loaders packages with `yarn install`
- build ts-loader with `yarn build`
- run the tests to ensure all is still good: `yarn test`
If all the tests passed then we're going to ship:
- tag the release in git. You can see existing tags with the command `git tag`. If the version in your `package.json` is `"1.0.1"` then you would tag the release like so: `git tag v1.0.1`. For more on type of tags we're using read [here](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging#Lightweight-Tags).
- Push the tag so the new version will show up in the [releases](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader/releases): `git push origin --tags`
- On the releases page, click the "Draft a new release button" and, on the presented page, select the version you've just released, name it and copy in the new markdown that you added to the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
- Now the big moment: `npm publish` ([alas `yarn publish` doesn't seem to publish all the js to npm](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader/issues/654))
You've released! Pat yourself on the back.
