For Developers/Local Development To access github package repositories for dependency resolution, you will need to generate an appropriate github token with the read:packages permissions, and edit settings.xml appropriately by replacing ${env.SECRET_ACTOR} with your github username and ${env.SECRET_TOKEN} with the generated token.

Alternatively, fork the repository, go to settings, and add SECRET_ACTOR and SECRET_TOKEN
