Development

1. git clone repo
   1. run git submodule update --init --recursive --progress to clone submodule dependencies
2. run npm install inside directory.
3. Examples:
   1. sqlite npm run littleMermaid2SQL -- -d sqlite --src samples/chinook-database-2.0.1.md
   2. postgres npm run littleMermaid2SQL -- -d postgres --src samples/Adventureworks_pg.md
   3. mysql npm run littleMermaid2SQL -- -d mysql --src samples/Adventureworks_mysql.md
4. Force uninstall
   • npm uninstall -g little-mermaid-2-the-sql
   • npm list -g
   • littleMermaid2SQL --help
5. test npm packaging
   • update .npmignore
   • run npm pack unzip contents and verify, node_modules are not required b/c they will be installed with package.json
   • npm unpublish @funktechno/little-mermaid-2-the-sql@0.0.5 can only work within 1 week of publish, not very useful b/c not possible to republish an unpublished version
