gulp

Now, you are ready to go.

Publish

If you want to publish new version to npm and bower, please make sure all tests have passed before you publish new version, and you need do these preparations:

Check the version number in bower.json and package.json.
Add new release information in CHANGELOG.md. The format of markdown contents will matter, because build scripts will get version and release content from this file by regular expression. You can follow the format of the older release information.
Put your personal API tokens in /.token, which is required by the build scripts to request Github API for creating new release.
Commit changes and push.

Now you can run gulp publish task, which will request Github API to create new release.

If everything goes fine, you can see your release at https://github.com/mycolorway/simple-select/releases. At the End you can publish new version to npm with the command:
