You can modify this to suite your needs. Like add icons, change the name, description and add other native features or dependencies. Make sure you commit this directory. ### Step 2: (_**Run this command every time you want to build a new distributable**_) Next you can run the pack command: ```sh npm run build ``` This will produce the js bundle along with assets inside the `./dist` directory ```sh npx nodegui-packer --pack ./dist ``` This will build the distributable using @nodegui/packer based on your template. The output of the command is found under the build directory. You should gitignore the build directory. More details about packer can be found here: https://github.com/nodegui/packer ## License MIT
