+# nodejs-mobile-prebuilds-template
+
+Template repository for building and publishing [NodeJS Mobile](https://github.com/nodejs-mobile/nodejs-mobile) prebuilds for a specific module
+
+## Getting started
+
+1. Create a new repository from this template using the GitHub UI. Alternatively can fork it.
+2. Update the environment variables defined in the [workflow file](./.github/workflows/prebuilds.yml) based on your needs:
+
+   - `NODE_VERSION`: the Node version to use for building (you most likely do not need to change this)
+   - `MODULE_NAME`: the name of the module that you're building prebuilds for
+   - `MODULE_VERSION`: the package version of the module that your'e building (you most likely do not need to change this)
+
+3. Remove the [`Getting started`](#getting-started) section of this README! (since it's specific to the template repo)
+
+## Working locally
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Node >= 16 and npm < 9
+- Android NDK 24.0.8215888
+  - (optional) exported `ANDROID_NDK_PATH` environment variable
+
+### General steps
+
+Should be clear enough to follow the workflow steps but in summary:
+
+1. Download the npm tarball package and unzip e.g. `npm pack foo@latest | xargs tar -zxvf` (replace `foo@latest` with the relevant package name and version)
+
+2. Navigate to unzipped directory and run `npx prebuild-for-nodejs-mobile TARGET`, where `TARGET` is an accepted value from the [`prebuild-for-nodejs-mobile`](https://github.com/staltz/prebuild-for-nodejs-mobile) CLI
+   - if you don't have the `ANDROID_NDK_PATH` environment variable exported, you may run the command like so: `ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/path/to/ndk npx prebuild-for-nodejs-mobile TARGET`
+
+## Creating a release
+
+1. Create a git tag that matches the version of the module you want to create prebuilds for e.g. `git tag 1.0.0`
+
+2. Push the tag to the remote e.g. `git push origin 1.0.0`
+
+3. The workflow uses the tag version to create the prebuilds and then publish a release with those prebuilds.
+
+4. The relevant artifacts will show up in GitHub Releases. Each artifact is a tarball containing the `.node` files for the target-specific prebuild.
