When i'm trying to install package on Windows with command npm install "https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases#v31.3.0+wvcus" --save-dev I'm still getting error:

I cannot find any solution on web for this. I was trying to install using another versions of node and npm but it's not helping.

Strange, can you run the failing command line directly outside of npm? I.e execute:

git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://[email protected]/castlabs/electron-releases.git

I can't repro this on my Windows box, or anywhere else, when using npm. I can however get the error if I explicitly use the above git command on a machine where the public key that matches what I have registered with GitHub is missing (since ssh transport is used).

I'm not sure why, but in your case it seems that npm opts to use ssh as the transport layer, which requires that a public key is registered on GitHub. Probably something specific to your setup since I'm not able to reproduce it. AFAICT you either need to figure out what is different with your setup, or register a public key on GitHub to allow the use of ssh.

Yes i can run this command without any problems. I have already registred ssh key on github and when i call command
ssh -T [email protected] I see message that i'm successfully authenticated.
