Publish (for maintainers)

The docs + npm package will be published automatically each day if there are changes, but if you want to publish changes immediately, you can trigger the publish workflow.

Option 1: In the Github UI, manually dispatch the publish workflow

Option 2: From the command line:

gh workflow run publish
