+# Template features: 
+
+[ts-ci](https://github.com/garronej/ts_ci) is a template that:
+- Automatically fills the paperwork for you: Fills the package.json and README.md
+- Automate testing: Every commit pushed will be automatically tested on docker containers against many Node and Deno version ( ``npm test`` ), if everything passes you'll get a green label on the readme.
+- Publish for you on NPM: Each time you'll change the version number in ``package.json`` a workflow that publishes for NPM and [deno.land](https://deno.land/x/) will trigger. The CHANGELOG.md will be automatically updated based on commit messages since last release.
+- Enable you to only track sources on the main branch: With this template you won't have to track ``dist/`` on your main branch.
+- Enable short import path: No more ``import 'my_module/dist/theFileNeeded'`` your users will be able to ``import 'my_module/theFileNeeded'``.  
 
 # GitHub Repo Secrets to set: 
 
@@ -6,10 +14,36 @@ The following Secrets need to be set to be able to publish.
 - ``PAT``: GitHub Personal access token.
 - ``NODE_AUTH_TOKEN``: NPM Authorization token.
 
+# NOTES:
+
+- The dev dependency ``evt`` is just used as an utility in the demo ``/src/test/`` directory.
+- The dev dependency ``denoify`` is needed for the NPM script ``enable_short_import_path``.
+
+# Warning
+
+The drawback of having short import path is that the file structure  
+is not exactly the same in production ( in the npm bundle ) and in development.
+
+The files and directories in ``dist/`` will be moved to the root of the project.  
+
+As a result this won't work in production: 
+
+``src/index.ts``
+```typescript
+const buff = require("fs").readFileSync(
+    require("path").join(__filename,"..", "package.json")
+);
+```
+
+Because ``/dist/index.js`` will be moved to ``/index.js``
+
+You'll have to do: 
+
+``src/index.ts``
+```typescript
+import { getProjectRoot } from "./tools/getProjectRoot";
+const buff = require("fs").readFileSync(
+    require("path").join(getProjectRoot(),"package.json")
+);
+```
