GitHub Packages is a package hosting service integrated with GitHub for publishing and consuming packages alongside code, supporting formats including npm, Maven, Gradle, NuGet, RubyGems, and containers. It targets teams already using GitHub for their workflow. Public packages are free, while private storage is billed by usage on GitHub plans. It is a cloud-hosted service and is not open-source or self-hostable outside GitHub Enterprise Server, with vulnerability scanning provided through GitHub's security tooling. It carries SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
