• Expose some kind of debug hooks to enable debugging also programmatically
• Add a -v, --verbose flag for silent packing

Describe the bug
When trying the CLI, Error: Cannot find module 'commander' is thrown.

To Reproduce
npx monopacker

Expected behavior
Not to throw an error.

Screenshots
N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Any
• Version: 2.x, 3.x

Additional context
The CLI src/bin/monopacker-cli.js requires commander but it is not installed nor present in package.json. Therefore, trying to execute the CLI fails. Previously commander was a deep dependency of semantic-release and that helped the build and CLI not to fail. But this is no longer the case.

Hi Jan,

thanks for this project.

Currently it’s needed to define which files should or should not be copied to the packed package. Instead of this you could use npm pack.

Because this projects „simulates“ an npm publish it would be more familiar to use npm pack.

Npm pack creates an zip file including the files which are included if it would be published to npm.

Some lerna packages are not valid or empty, we might try to get around that by using an artifical package or just skip children resolver if no package was specified.

Required

• explain what the tool does in-depth
• explain why and for what cases the tool is needed
• add a solid API documentation

Optional

• add a visualization of the monopacker steps and how the graph's working internally
• add a beautiful logo
• generate an API documentation with a tool like tsdoc

Nice to have

• publish the docs via GitHub pages
