Can't push a package to Github

Question

I'm trying setup Github Packages for a NPM project but I'm running into some issues..

I have a repo under a specific org: my-orgname/my-repo-name This repo is private

The code in themy-orgname/my-repo-name repo contains a NPM module.

package.json in project

{
  "name": "@my-orgname/my-repo-name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": ".....",
  "publishConfig": {
    "registry": "https://npm.pkg.github.com/"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/my-orgname/my-repo-name"
  },
  .....

.npmrc in project folder registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/my-orgname

~/.npmrc file

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=<TOKEN>
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<TOKEN>

From within the project folder.. npm publish

Results In

npm ERR! 404 Not Found - PUT https://npm.pkg.github.com/@my-orgname%2fmy-repo-name - The expected resource was not found.
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  '@my-orgname/[email protected]' is not in the npm registry.

I had a similar problem and found that I needed to give my github personal access token the following permissions:

• repo (Full control of private repositories)
• write:packages (Upload packages to github package registry)
• read:packages (Download packages from github package registry)
