Hi All,

Just got the proxy to GitHub Packages working on Nexus Repository 3.55 with the following:

Nexus Repo 3.55  
Remote Storage URL: [https://npm.pkg.github.com](https://npm.pkg.github.com)  
Authentication type: Preemptive Bearer Token (SO NOT the username one)  
Token: OBTAINED\_TOKEN\_FROM\_GITHUB  
Enabled: Enable redirects to the same location (may be required by some servers)  
Enabled: Allow cookies to be stored and used  
Other settings: Default

Hope above helps!

Kind regards,

Joris
