1. check out `develop`:
   `git checkout develop && git pull`
2. set the version in `package.json` and `package-lock.json`
3. compare to the last version to determine non-dependabot changes:
   `git log --no-merges --perl-regexp --author='^((?!dependabot).*)$' v2.5.7..HEAD`
4. update `README.md` with the high-level changelog
5. commit and push the changes: `git commit -a -m 'OpenNMS.js vX.X.X' && git push`
6. wait for CircleCI to merge the changes and generate artifacts in `main`:
   https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/OpenNMS/opennms-js
7. check out `main`:
   `git checkout main && git pull`
8. `npm login` as `opennms-admin` (or another account authorized to publish)
