## Usage: CLI
```console
$ npx guess-npm-dist-tag
latest
```
Compare the version number of the local `package.json` in CWD with the latest version retrieved from the npm registry and output the most appropriate dist-tag like `latest`, `latest-3`or`next`.
You can use this with `npm publish --tag` in GitHub Actions.
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: "20.x"
registry-url: "https://registry.npmjs.org"
- run: npm ci
- run: npm publish --tag $(npx guess-npm-dist-tag)
env:
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
```
