The steps to mirror the Gitlab private repository in JFrog Artifactory.
Step 1: Create a Deploy token from Gitlab and copy the Username and Access token
Step 2: Create an NPM remote repository in Artifactory with the Gitlab URL
1. Go to Artifactory → Administration → Repositories → Add Repositories → Remote Repositories → NPM
2. Create a repository with <your_npm_reponame> as the Repository Key
3. Update URL field with the Gitlab registry URL in the below format
Here is an example of a remote npm repository with the name “npmlab”
Note: Since it is a private registry, “Test” may show “Target remote URL returned error 404: Not Found”, however you can ignore this error message and move forward.

3. Replace <SCOPE> with the scope in your registry
4. Add the code snippet to ~/.npmrc file(If Windows, %USERPROFILE%\.npmrc)
Step 4: Install npm package using “npm install @<SCOPE>/package_name”
