By default, the GitHub Action creates an .npmrc file to authenticate with the npm registry when publishing packages.

However, if you already have an .npmrc file in your repository, the GitHub Action recognizes it and doesn't recreate the file. This is useful if you need to customize your .npmrc file for any specific configurations.

For instance, if you want to manually create the .npmrc file before running the GitHub Action, you can add a step like this:

+ - name: Creating .npmrc
+   run: |
+     echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=\${NPM_TOKEN}" >> $HOME/.npmrc
+   env:
+     NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
  - name: Publish to npm
    uses: kotarella1110/pr-voyager
    with:
      publish: pnpm publish -r
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
-     NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
