best-vsts-npm-auth

library1.0.5jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool that refreshes Azure DevOps Artifacts and GitHub Packages npm authentication on your machine. It reads your project .npmrc, obtains an access token via Azure CLI (no app registration required), and writes short-lived tokens (valid ~1 hour) to your user ~/.npmrc and optionally project .yarnrc.yml. Current stable version is 1.0.5. Key differentiators: simple setup with no app registration, supports Yarn Berry, and works with scoped registries. Works on Node.js with Azure CLI.
