When using 'npm' it requires me to login to github

Question

Problem When i try to use npm in any way, ex: npm update or npm i package it immediatly gives me a github login prompt.

What i tried using npm with i, install, and even giving it git directly git://. But none worked sadly.

I am new to Node.js. So far (2 weeks), i have been updating, installing and reinstalling dependencies without a problem. Just now this issue occured.

What i was doing before the error occured was nothing special. Just programming. Last thing i used npm for was to install discord.js npm i discord.js.

Assets:

OS: Windows 10 64bit

Node.js ver: 8.10.0

Node.js install method: via site [Gui]

The git prompt i keep getting and the error after either logging in or pressing cancel

Answer 1

to have such a problem, it means your command is wrong. take for example you are trying to install angular cli and you omit the @ symbol login will pop like so

npm install -g angular/cli // this will trigger login pop-up
npm install -g @angular/cli // will work fine
so check your command

This issue has been resolved. The problem was very simple but i couldn't figure it out at first.

So what was wrong with my issue here was that i accidently while working on my project changed a value in the "Package.json" file. This is ofcourse not intended. With that, my whole project's 'npm' command was broken where it could't work anymore.

Thank you everyone for your time.
