npm install from vso

I'm just going to throw all this out there and hope SO can help..

My situation is that I need to npm install -s from a Visual Studio Online hosted git repo. I have seen how to do this from github and bitbucket. I guessed that the process would be the same but when I run npm install, nothing happens. I expected that at a minimum, the index.js, the readme.md and the package.json would be pulled.

I created a simple repo at https://ldcjtctest.visualstudio.com/_git/MyFirstProject

this project contains these files:

I have tried running npm install with ssh and https but both give me the following with verbose logging:enter image description here

What am I missing?

Steps for Https:

  1. Create personal access token
  2. Command:npm install git+https://test:[personal access token]@[account name].visualstudio.com/[team project]/_git/[repository].

Steps for SSH:

  1. General SSH key without passphrase and add the public key to your VSTS.
  2. Optional, run git clone with ssh to do test to make sure the SSH key works fine
  3. Command npm install git+[ssh address].

Note: Tested with 3.10.10 (npm -v)

After researching, I discovered that the quickest way to accomplish what I wanted was to create a feed. I just followed the MS documentation on how to do this.

*Note: I had an issue when following the instructions linked here. I kept getting an unauthorized error. It took me a while, but I found out that when running the command vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc, my .npmrc file was not being created locally, but on a shared drive. when I moved that file to c:/users/<yourself>/ it worked as expected.
