Hey @hollg , a few questions to give me a bit more context and make sure we're not missing anything obvious:

Has the package been published to a repository belonging to you? E.g. mygithubusername/project-a containing @mygithubusername/package-a.

As this is an authorization issue, it's possibly related to the configuration of the .npmrc file. Does your local clone of the repository in which you want to yarn add @mygithubusername/package-a (e.g. mygithubusername/project-b) contain a .npmrc file that looks something like this?:

//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=PAT_GOES_HERE
@mygithubusername:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

I'm happy to hear that you found the article useful. Hopefully we can get this last issue resolved 👍

Yep, that's right

It sure does!

Just to give you full context:

I'm working in a private repository hosted on my github account, with this setup:

client
    some stuff
    some other stuff
server
    even more stuff
packages
    shared-types

client and server have their own package.jsons managing their own dependencies, builds etc. But I want to share some TypeScript types between them. That's what shared-types is for. So I'm trying to yarn add it to client and server.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look into this with me!
