I am little new in publishing our own , newly created lib. Please help me with my basic questions.

I have created my own library using plain JavaScript and Storybook. Not sure how to publish it and How to use it in any project say, new project created using react Create app.

Want to know

• Do we need to create npm account to publish the library?
• I have gitlab account, will that do ?
• What’s the difference between publishing the library in npmjs or gitlab/ github packages?

Can someone please provide me detail steps to build the library and then use it?

Thank you so much in advance
