# recently-published
> A simple CLI tool to view which installed packages in your project were published most recently
## Use Case
If you install or update your packages and something breaks, you can use this CLI tool to see which versions you just installed were most recently published and hence the most suspect.
## Installation & Usage
You can either install this package globally or use `npx` to run it without installation.
### Global Installation
To install globally, use:
```sh
npm install -g recently-published
```
Once installed, you can run it anywhere with:
```sh
recently-published
```
### Using `npx`
If you prefer not to install it globally, you can use `npx`:
```sh
npx recently-published
```
This will fetch and run the latest version of the package without needing a global install.
## Usage
```text
Usage: recently-published [options] [optionalPackageName]
Arguments:
optionalPackageName Optional package name whose recently published versions you want to see. If not provided, will display recently published packages installed in the current directory.
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-d, --display Number of recently published versions you would like displayed or "all" if you want to display all of them (default: "5")
-ep, --excludePrerelease Exclude prerelease versions from the list of recently published versions
--json Output the result in JSON format
-h, --help display help for command
```
