Github Package Registry Reviews & Product Details

• npm: Handles JavaScript and Node.js packages, supporting scoped packages and allowing direct association with repositories. The registry works consistently for both public and private packages, and supports granular or repository-inherited permissions.

• Container registry: Stores and manages Docker and OCI images, replacing the older Docker registry. It offers robust authentication mechanisms and supports both individual and organization-level scoping.

• RubyGems: Publishes and consumes Ruby packages, integrating efficiently with Bundler for dependency management.

• Apache Maven and Gradle: Manages Java packages, with direct integration into Java build tools. Packages are always repository-scoped, ensuring consistent permission inheritance.

• NuGet: Supports .NET packages, with flexible scoping and access control.

Key technical features that I really like:

• Integrated permissions and access control: Permissions can be granular (user or organization scoped) or inherited from the repository, depending on the registry.

• Seamless GitHub Actions integration: Publishing and consuming packages within CI/CD workflows is straightforward. The registry works efficiently with GitHub Actions.

• Unified DevOps workflow: Source code, packages, and CI/CD pipelines are managed in a single platform.

• Support for public and private packages: Packages can be published to public or private repositories.

• Detailed package metadata and visibility: Each package page displays README, license information, download statistics, and version history,

• Multiple authentication options: Supports personal access tokens and the GITHUB_TOKEN for automation, with clear documentation on required scopes for publishing and installing packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up .npmrc, authentication tokens, and permission models often requires careful reading of the documentation and can be error-prone for new users. Additionally, some registries (such as Maven and Gradle) only support repository-scoped permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All my team members are using it for the development of inhouse tools for the aerospace sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially, it was quite confusing for me. Later I got comfortable and now am quite expert level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Its easy to use mechanism

- it come up with auto deployment feature, confirm the pipeline's and all version of packages will be available on github registy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github registry cause problem, if your package name have uppercase letter in it.

In order to experience smooth experience just have lowercase in package name Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything in one place! The source code, the project and the package, all under one consistent base. No more time/effort wasting to follow up the package in other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still not widely used by the public, at least for .net and VS project. For the majority of the developers Nuget is still the main package manager and source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will reduce the complexity to use other third party tools.

We can get the facility to manage packages is a good think along with source code.

Looking forward to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of now.

Will recommend to others to use this one and can comment if any. For now nothing seems to be missing.

It integrates seamlessly with Github's ecosystem, making it easy for us developers to publish, manage, and share our packages within the workflow and save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I faced some dependency management issues, and as of now, it only supports a limited number of programming languages. While GitHub Package Registry offers a generous free tier, it is also expensive for large organizations with many users and packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One Of The Best Things is Building Code In project and hosting that project into packages in One Place and using that code through the other projects.

And Using NPM we can use these codes in our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no such thing as dislike but yes expecting a lot more new features in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
