Instead of allowing multiple instances of your app to run, this will ensure that only a single instance of your app is running, and other instances signal this instance and exit.

## Install

```bash

yarn add electron-single

```

## Usage

```js

const makeSingle = require('electron-single')

makeSingle(mainWindow)
