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. Some registries only support repository-scoped packages. For a list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
Other registries offer 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 the repository's permissions. For more information, see "Connecting a repository to a package" 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.
