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

Question

Im'trying to publish a npm package from a owned Github repository. I've tried with:

npm publish git+https://[email protected]/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
