Managing an Open Source Project
summary
Maintains over 100 packages and shows how automation and community keep that sustainable: automated releases with semantic-release, CI-backed tests (jest, Cypress) and badges via Codecov, formatting and linting with Prettier, ESLint, husky and lint‑staged, plus npm-run-all and cross-env for scripts. Uses extensibility, roadmap and CONTRIBUTING templates, short help URLs, Spectrum chat and all-contributors to recruit and retain people, and reports many regularly maintained repos at 100% code coverage.
