Putting your code up on GitHub is helpful, but publishing your library to npm makes it even easier for people to use your library. In this lesson, you'll learn how to publish your library and validate that it published correctly.

If you have issues publishing your package is because there's already a starwars-names package published, you should named it like yourname-startwars-names for example.
