I've just come up against something I haven't encountered before.

I have the following need whereby I have private node packages published to both a private and public repository under the same @scope. The packages I have published to npmjs.org are public, stable and ready.

The packages we publish to npm.pkg.github.com are private, potentially unstable. not ready for release and/or need to remain private.

So, I was thinking is it possible to do something like this in the .npmrc file:

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
@scope:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
@scope/<SOME_PUBLIC_PACKAGE_NAME>:registry=https://registry.npmjs.org
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

or similar ...
