Publishing a package

Note: Package names and scopes must only use lowercase letters.

By default, GitHub Packages publishes a package in the GitHub repository you specify in the name field of the package.json file.

Publishing a package using a local .npmrc file

In the same directory as your package.json file, create or edit an .npmrc file to include a line specifying GitHub Packages URL and the account owner. Replace OWNER with the name of the user or organization account that owns the repository containing your project.

changes in package.json

"name": "@logicmade/logic-booking",
"repository":"git@github.com:Logicmade/package-logger.git",
"publishConfig": {
      "registry":"https://npm.pkg.github.com"
},
