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.
