How can I run curl and prompt for a password when running from npm?

I'm working on a Node.js file to automatically create a new Github repo.

When I run curl -u 'BretCameron' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"test_repo"}' in the terminal, it asks me for my GitHub password and then creates the new repo.

But I can't get this to work in Node, even though the git commands in my sample code are working fine:

const { exec, execSync } = require('child_process');

function run(func) {
 console.log(execSync(func).toString())
}

run('touch README.md');
run('git init');
run('git add README.md');
run('git commit -m "First commit"');
exec(`curl -u 'BretCameron' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"test_repo"}'`));

I have tried with the exec and execSync functions from the child_process module, as well as putting it into my helper function run. Can anyone offer some advice?
