Based on other work we recommend the source control project for a sharable light module to be buildable with 'npm run build'. Additionally we recommend using .npmignore to remove all of the files not required for the production light module - such as the _dev directory and various config files.

This works great for packages a developer gets directly from npm - but how should a developer work which has the source control project locally - how can they easily get their built version without the dev specific files. Of course they can run 'npm run build' locally - but how to get rid of the .npmignore files?

They could build the tar.gzip locally and then unpack that.
Is there something more handy? could we provide a CLI command to do this?
