A good way to do go about this is with npm version. Which will increment the version in package.json and create a new commit and tag. Here are few examples that you might use, but
there is more information on [NPM Version](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-version).
For doing a patch release, you can do
```bash
npm version patch -m "Upgrade to %s for reasons"
```
aside from patch, you can use the keywords `minor`, and `major` (there are some others).
Once this is complete, log into GitHub and do an offical release of the package. A published release will result in a new published version on NPM (via a GitHub Action)
