The NPM registryarrow-up-right is typically the go-to spot for uploading packages.

GitHub's repository navigation

Turns out, to get your packages listed there, you’ve got to use GitHub Packagesarrow-up-right.

So, I decided to dive into the GitHub Packages NPM registry.

This move wasn’t just about getting our packages neatly listed; it was also a chance to really see what it's like to work with GitHub Packages.

And honestly, this experience could fill another blog post, which I might just write up someday.

If you are not up to date - there is a new kid on the block when it comes to registries: JSRarrow-up-right (JavaScript Registry by Deno)


Moving forward, we'll explore how Lerna aids in module versioning and publishing, and how tweaking lerna.json helps enforce commit conventions in our project.
