# now
The fastest way to deploy a Node.JS service.
## How it works
In any directory with a `package.json`, run:
```bash
$ now
> https://some-code-nd23n2.now.sh
```
every time you run it, you get a new URL (unless nothing's changed).
### Conventions
- Only files that would be included in `npm publish` are synchronized.
- `package.json` `files`, `.npmignore`, `.gitignore` supported
- `package.json` must contain a `start` task inside `scripts`.
If a `now` script is defined, that's used instead.
- Your HTTP server is expected to run in port `3000`.
## Installing
```bash
$ npm install -g now
> Enter your email: rauchg@gmail.com.
> We sent an email. Click to log in.
```
## Features
- No reliance on Git.
- File de-duping.
- Respects NPM conventions.
## Options
```
-d Debug mode. Lists all files to be uploaded.
-f Force. Creates a new URL even if nothing has changed.
```
