Proper repo naming

[desmap]

Just stumbled over this repo, thanks for sharing! Not an issues but a question: How do you deal with repo names in a monorepo like this if you do not want ever to publish it to npm?

In pnpm I just add "my-local-repo-name": "workspace: *". With npm 7 (and also with yarn) I need to specify a repo name which isn't on npm published, so npm i doesn't pull a remote repo which might exist. So, I can make up some name, prefix it with some fictional org and all good. But if someone registers that name I am back to zero. This sounds all not really sound or I do miss something. How do you deal with this?

Something like @desmap/local-package ? I think no one else can push to the scoped package if you own the npm account (e.g. @desmap ) correctly .
