As mentioned in [Generating GitHub PAT](/development/generating-github-pat.md), in order to use your generated PAT you have to create `.npmrc` file in project's `root` directory.
If you have already generated PAT and have created `.npmrc` file in one project, you can copy the file to other projects
## 1. Create .npmrc file
```bash
$: cd ./crucible
$: touch .npmrc # make .npmrc file in root
```
## 2. Update .npmrc file content
{% hint style="info" %}
.npmrc is in `.gitignore` by default
{% endhint %}
```bash
# .npmrc
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=PAT_TOKEN_HERE
@exile-watch:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/
```
