Describe the Bug

My workspace currently blocks access to the global npm registry, instead filtering all traffic through an internal registry. Unfortunately that means running the scaffold command npm create astro@latest results in the following error:

node:events:491
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established
    at connResetException (node:internal/errors:705:14)

    at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:525:35)
    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1358:12)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21)
Emitted 'error' event on ClientRequest instance at:

    at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:122:3)

  code: 'ECONNRESET',
  path: null,
  host: 'registry.npmjs.org',
  port: 443,
  localAddress: undefined
}

I need some way to point the create script at a local registry rather than the global npm registry. This value can then be passed down to giget's --registry flag. Unfortunately setting the environment variable doesn't seem to help.
