Introducing Azure DevOps npm auth
Azure DevOps has a feature called Azure Artifacts that supports publishing npm packages to a feed for consumption. Typically those npm packages are intended to be consumed by a restricted audience. To install a package published to a private feed you need to configure authentication, and for non Windows users this is a convoluted process.
Azure DevOps npm auth exists to ease the setting up of local authentication to Azure DevOps npm feeds, particularly for non Windows users.
