Repository-Packages
A package always belongs to an owner (a user or organisation), not a repository. To link an (already uploaded) package to a repository, open the settings page on that package and choose a repository to link this package to. The entire package will be linked, not just a single version.
Linking a package results in showing that package in the repository's package list, and shows a link to the repository on the package site (as well as a link to the repository issues).
Access Restrictions
| Package owner type | User | Organization |
|---|---|---|
| read access | public, if user is public too; otherwise for this user only | public, if org is public, otherwise for org members only |
| write access | owner only | org members with admin or write access to the org |
N.B.: These access restrictions are subject to change, where more finegrained control will be added via a dedicated organization team permission.
Create or upload a package
Depending on the type of package, use the respective package-manager for that. Check out the sub-page of a specific package manager for instructions.
View packages
You can view the packages of a repository on the repository page.
- Go to the repository.
- Go to Packages in the navigation bar.
To view more details about a package, select the name of the package.
Download a package
To download a package from your repository:
- Go to Packages in the navigation bar.
- Select the name of the package to view the details.
- In the Assets section, select the name of the package file you want to download.
Delete a package
You cannot edit a package after you have published it in the Package Registry. Instead, you must delete and recreate it.
To delete a package from your repository:
- Go to Packages in the navigation bar.
- Select the name of the package to view the details.
- Click Delete package to permanently delete the package.
Disable the Package Registry
The Package Registry is automatically enabled. To disable it for a single repository:
- Go to Settings in the navigation bar.
- Disable Enable Repository Packages Registry.
Previously published packages are not deleted by disabling the Package Registry.
