Use some shortcuts in the versioning script

[fregante]

I found some small improvements could be made, feel free to reject if you find it trivial.

Sadly dot-json doesn't support merging arrays or else you could drop the json dependency.

I like it, looks much simpler. Do you mind updating the patch-permissions npm script as well so we can remove json as a dependency? Once this is done I'm more than happy to merge this.

[fregante]

Updating how? Dot-json can’t do that

[stefanbuck]

Ohh I didn't noticed that dot-json is unable to add additional fields. In that case we can keep it or consider adding the permission as you suggested. I'm just concerned about asking for any additional permission which seem to be unnecessary for Chrome users.

Looks like the updated package-lock.json file is missing and therefore breaking the CI

[stefanbuck]

Amazing, thank you @fregante
