@jwerle Could you post the contents of your error log?

Since you're on node version 5.12.0, I'm curious if this is related to #1944

@jwerle Ah, it seems you have an invalid URL, but the error message for this wasn't updated. I have a PR open #1947 for this, but ensure what you're attempting to add is valid repo. More info.

[jwerle]

@olingern hmm.. how should i install a private repository from github?

[olingern]

does yarn add https://github.com/your_private_repo give you the same error?

[jwerle]

it gives me a different error

[olingern]

It looks like this is an authentication issue. Are you able to git clone https://github.com/littlstar/littlstarjs with no problems?

[jwerle]

@olingern ah, shit sorry i had a typo! it is working

[jwerle]

@olingern so it is safe to assume that installation of private repositories on github should be explicit?

[olingern]

@jwerle If by explicit you mean a fully qualified github url, then - yes. Yarn wouldn't know how to resolve yarn add myPrivateProjectName without a url.

Maybe, I'm missing what you're asking though

[jwerle]

@olingern in the context of a npm user transitioning to yarn I was used to npm install org/repo --save adding the "package": "github:org/repo" entry to my dependencies in my package.json file. I was also used to running npm install and the install process honoring those entries
