How to publish a npm package from a owned Github repository? - npm

Question

Im'trying to publish a npm package from a owned Github repository. I've tried with:
npm publish git+https://Aminta#github.com/Aminta/fontfacegen.git
But it gives the following error:

Any hints? Thanks!

You could publish from your local github directory. Just clone your repo and do npm publish from that directory.
Here's what npm says:
npm publish [<tarball>|<folder>] [--tag <tag>] [--access <public|restricted>]
Publishes '.' if no argument supplied
Sets tag `latest` if no --tag specified
