For information on how to get started and how to use jQuery, please see [jQuery's documentation](https://api.jquery.com/).

For source files and issues, please visit the [jQuery repo](https://github.com/jquery/jquery).

If upgrading, please see the [blog post for @VERSION](@BLOG_POST_LINK). This includes notable differences from the previous version and a more readable changelog.

Below are some of the most common ways to include jQuery.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-@VERSION.min.js"></script>

[Babel](https://babeljs.io/) is a next generation JavaScript compiler. One of the features is the ability to use ES6/ES2015 modules now, even though browsers do not yet support this feature natively.

import $ from "jquery";

There are several ways to use [Browserify](https://browserify.org/) and [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/). For more information on using these tools, please refer to the corresponding project's documention. In the script, including jQuery will usually look like this...

var $ = require( "jquery" );

AMD is a module format built for the browser. For more information, we recommend [require.js' documentation](https://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html).

define( [ "jquery" ], function( $ ) {

} );

To include jQuery in [Node](nodejs.org), first install with npm.

npm install jquery

For jQuery to work in Node, a window with a document is required. Since no such window exists natively in Node, one can be mocked by tools such as [jsdom](https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom). This can be useful for testing purposes.

const { JSDOM } = require( "jsdom" );

const { window } = new JSDOM( "" );

const $ = require( "jquery" )( window );

const distFiles = [

"dist/jquery.js",

"dist/jquery.min.js",

];

const filesToCommit = [

`Error tagging ${ Release.newVersion } on dist repo.` );

`git push ${

"Error pushing master and tags to git repo."

);
