Change npm Release Tag After Publishing (dist-tags)

Mistakenly tagged a version as latest on npm? Here’s how to fix it with dist-tags:

1. Tag the Version as alpha: Assign the alpha tag to the mistaken version. For example, if your package is my-package and version 1.0.1 was incorrectly tagged:

   npm dist-tag add my-package@1.0.1 alpha

2. Update latest to the Stable Version: Point latest to the correct stable version, like 1.0.0:

   npm dist-tag add my-package@1.0.0 latest

3. Verify the Tags: Check the updated tags for my-package:

   npm dist-tag ls my-package

   Output might look like:

   alpha: 1.0.1
   latest: 1.0.0
   

Keep your package versions clear and user-friendly with these simple steps!
