Change .replit (hidden file)

What is the command to start nodemon? Set run in .replit to that

i have that but doesnt work:

entrypoint = "app.js"
modules = ["nodejs-18:v3-20230608-f4cd419"]
hidden = [".config", "package-lock.json"]

[nix]
channel = "stable-23_05"

[deployment]
run = ["npm run start"]
deploymentTarget = "cloudrun"
ignorePorts = true

First thing under deployment is npm run start, though?

Also, are you deploying the Repl?
