Create your personalized NPX introduction card

Step 1: Select a Unique Package Name
Choose a distinctive name for your package, as it will be the identifier for invoking your introduction command using npx.

Create a fresh directory for your package, naming it after the chosen package name.

Step 3: Initialize Your Package

Initialize your project as a Node.js package using the command:
npm init -y

Step 4: Develop an Executable Script

Ensure to specify the bin field in package.json:
"bin": {
"username": "./bin/index.js"
}

To enable script execution, follow these steps:

For Mac/Linux:
chmod +x bin/index.js

For Windows:
git update-index --chmod=+x bin/index.js

Step 5: Add your script to execute and display in terminal

Execute your script with the following command:
node bin/index.js

Step 6: Publish the package

Once your script runs successfully, publish the package:

1. Log in to npm:
npm adduser

2. After logging in, return to the terminal and run:
npm publish

Step 7: Execute Your NPX Command

Once the package is published, run your npx command:
npx username
