NAME

       npm-pack - Create a tarball from a package

   Synopsis
         npm pack [[<@scope>/]<pkg>...] [--dry-run]

   Description
       For  anything  that's  installable  (that  is,  a  package  folder,  tarball, tarball url,
       name@tag, name@version, name, or scoped name), this command will fetch it  to  the  cache,
       and  then  copy  the tarball to the current working directory as <name>-<version>.tgz, and
       then write the filenames out to stdout.

       If the same package is specified multiple times, then the file  will  be  overwritten  the
       second time.

       If no arguments are supplied, then npm packs the current package folder.

       The  --dry-run argument will do everything that pack usually does without actually packing
       anything. Reports on what would have gone into the tarball.
