About package views
Your ability to view a package depends on several factors. By default, you can view all packages you have published.
Repository-scoped packages inherit their permissions and visibility from the repository that owns the package. The registries below use this type of permissions:
- npm registry
- RubyGems registry
- Apache Maven registry
- NuGet registry
The Container registry offers you the option of granular permissions and visibility settings that can be customized for each package owned by a personal user or organization account. You can choose to use granular permissions or connect the package to a repository and inherit it's permissions. For more information, see "Connecting a repository to a package."
For more information, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages" and "Configuring a package's access control and visibility."
On the package page, GitHub provides metadata for each version, such as the publication date. You can see details about the package, including a description and installation and usage instructions. You can download any assets associated with the package and see information about download activity. For an example package page, see @Codertocat/hello-world-npm.
