Account Setup

Sign up

APM uses GitHub for authentication. No separate account needed.

1. Go to apm.orthg.nl and click Sign in
2. Authorize the APM app with your GitHub account
3. You'll be taken to the onboarding wizard

Create an organization

Organizations are the publisher identity in APM. Every namespace belongs to an organization.

In the onboarding wizard:

1. Enter a namespace — this becomes your @scope for publishing (e.g. @myorg)
2. Enter a display name — the human-readable name shown in the registry
3. Click Create Organization

Your organization is created with a matching namespace automatically. For example, creating org myorg gives you the @myorg namespace.

Reserved namespaces

Some names are reserved for well-known companies and projects. If you try to create a reserved namespace:

1. You'll be prompted to explain why you should own it
2. Submit your request — the org appears in your dashboard as pending
3. An APM admin reviews and approves or rejects the request
4. Approved orgs receive the verified badge

You can create a different (non-reserved) org while you wait — the pending request is non-blocking.

Invite team members

After creating an org, you can invite team members by GitHub username.

• Members can view org details
• Admins can manage namespaces and publish packages
• Owners can manage members, delete the org, and do everything admins can

You can skip this step and invite members later from the dashboard.

Your dashboard

The dashboard at apm.orthg.nl/dashboard is your home base:

• Organizations — manage your orgs, view stats
• Access tokens — create tokens for CLI/API authentication
• Profile — your GitHub connection and account settings

Click an organization to see its detail page with namespaces, members, and stats.

Create an access token

Tokens are used for CLI authentication and API access.

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Under Access Tokens, click + Create
3. Enter a name (e.g. "laptop", "CI") and optional description
4. Click Create — copy the token immediately, it won't be shown again
5. Save it to ~/.apm/token or set it as the APM_TOKEN environment variable
