Unable to register Bower package: EINVFORMAT

Question

I'm trying to register my first package with Bower. No matter what I do, I get the following error:

bower myPackageName#*         resolve git://github.com/username/myPackageName.git#*
bower myPackageName#*        download https://github.com/username/myPackageName/archive/0.1.0.tar.gz
bower myPackageName#*         extract archive.tar.gz
bower myPackageName#*        resolved git://github.com/username/myPackageName.git#0.1.0
[?] Registering a package will make it installable via the registry (https://bower.herokuapp.com), continue? Yes
bower myPackageName         register git://github.com/username/myPackageName.git
bower                       EINVFORMAT Invalid URL format

I don't understand why I'm getting this error. Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like your trying to register a package whose name is in camel case notation. In other words, you may be trying to register myPackageName. However, words in bower package name should be separated by dashes ('-') instead of an upper-case letter. This would make your package name my-package-name.
