Development workflow – contentstack-cli-tsgen

When to use

• Running the canonical build before pack or publish
• Understanding which branches run CI and how releases work

Branches and CI

• Node.js workflow (.github/workflows/node.js.yml) runs on push and pull_request for master, development, and staging.
• Release (.github/workflows/release.yml) runs on push to master (Node 22.x), publishes npm artifact from lib, creates GitHub release.

Other Contentstack repos may use main instead of master; align with team branch protection when contributing.

Build

• npm run prepack: removes lib/, runs tsc -b, oclif manifest, oclif readme. This is the canonical compile before pack/publish.
• CI runs prepack after global csdx setup and plugins:link where applicable.
