GitHub Packages
GitHub Packages is a package hosting service that enables users to publish, manage, and consume packages directly within GitHub. It integrates with GitHub repositories, allowing you to associate packages with your code and automate workflows for building and deploying packages.
With GitHub Packages, users can:
- Publish and share packages privately (specific users only), internally (all Imperial staff/students) or publicly.
- Use packages as dependencies in their projects.
- Manage package versions and access controls.
- Automate package publishing using GitHub Actions.
GitHub Packages supports multiple package formats, including:
- Docker images
- npm (JavaScript)
- Maven and Gradle (Java)
- RubyGems (Ruby)
- NuGet (.NET)
- Python (PyPI)
This makes it a versatile solution for managing dependencies and distributing software across various ecosystems. You can find more information about GitHub Packages at Introduction to GitHub Packages.
