Question

Body

Our organization decided to make public the npm package that we had been publishing via Github Packages, as we do not want to store Personal Access Token(PAT) in plaintext in the .npmrc file. However, I still need PAT to install the package(I deleted the .npmrc file, then I got 404 error when installing the package).
I thought that making the package public would eliminate the need for PAT, am I wrong?
Is there any way to install a package that is public in GIthub Packages without PAT?

I've been waiting for 3 years, don't know what they are thinking about.
