Cannot use private GitHub npm repository

[jsumners]

pnpm version: 4.1.6

Code to reproduce the issue:

1. npm login https://npm.pkg.github.com/a-private-org
2. npx nrm add github https://npm.pkg.github.com/a-private-org
3. nps nrm use github
4. pnpm i tap

Expected behavior:

pnpm will use the stored credentials to authenticate to the GitHub package repository so that the public tap package can be installed via the proxy.

It should also be able to install any of the private packages, but the public one exhibits the full issue.

Actual behavior:

 ERROR  401 Unauthorized: tap (via https://npm.pkg.github.com/a-private-org/tap)

Additional information:

• node -v prints: 12.13.0
• Windows, OS X, or Linux?: OS X

This might be fixed in the latest pnpm, as we have fixed some issues with github registry: #2687

I'll test it out when I'm back to work later in the week.

Can confirm. This is working in pnpm 5.5.8. I am able to install the public tap package from npmjs.org and a private package from my GH org.

I still get the same issue :(

Create a new issue with the output you get in the console

The new issue appeared to be not an issue on pnpm's side: #2933
