NPM Authentication

go here: https://github.com/settings/tokens.
click "Generate new token".
name it "NPM_AUTH_TOKEN".
set the "Expiration" to 30 days (30 days is open to debate).
tick the group checkbox for "repo".
tick the checkbox for read:packages.
click "Generate token".
WRITE DOWN THE TOKEN!!!!!!!!!!! (you will never get to see it again).
add export NPM_AUTH_TOKEN=TOKEN_HERE (where "TOKEN_HERE" is your newly generated token) to your ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, or whatever you use.
