How to configure Github Action with GIGET_AUTH

[martijnhalekor]

I am setting up a GitHub Action which runs tests when a PR is created. I am however stuck in the install step as my Nuxt project is depending on a layer, hosted as a private GitHub repository. I have added GIGET_AUTH as a secret in the repo settings on github, but the install step returns the following error:
Failed to download https://api.github.com/repos/kraftersnl/krafters-ui/tarball/main: 404 Not Found

I have no issue with the Nuxt layer setup when deploying our app, but I can't get the GitHub Action working 😐
My github action:

name: Run unit tests

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  pull-request-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - run: npm install
      - run: npm test

Am I missing an obvious confguration setting or is the GIGET_AUTH token not supported in GitHub Actions?
Thanks in advance! 🙏

I figured it out! I simply had to add the env property, referring to the secret I stored at GitHub. See example below for the missing piece of the puzzle.

- name: Install packages
  run: npm ci
  env:
    GIGET_AUTH: ${{ secrets.GIGET_AUTH }}

Yes that's right. If you had some time could you make a PR to add a section to the docs to help others trying to setup with github actions? 🙏🏼
