GitHub Packages is a software package hosting service that lets you host, publish, and manage packages privately or publicly alongside your code, and use them as dependencies in projects. It supports multiple package registries (Docker, npm, RubyGems, Maven, Gradle, NuGet, etc.) and can be automated with GitHub Actions for publishing and consuming packages. You can control access with permissions and visibility, connect repositories to packages, install packages, delete/restore, and migrate Docker images to the Container registry.
