This page covers patterns used by mature libraries and OSS projects for reliable, modern package publishing.

Publishing packages is how you share reusable code — whether with the open-source community on npm, within your organization via private registries, or across projects in a monorepo.

Not every package belongs on the public npm registry. Internal utilities, shared configs, and proprietary code need private distribution channels.

Publishing multiple packages from a monorepo adds complexity: coordinating versions, managing interdependencies, and automating releases across packages.

GitHub Packages provides an npm registry tightly integrated with your GitHub repositories. It's ideal for organization-internal packages and packages tied to specific repos.

This guide walks you through publishing a package to the npm registry from scratch.

Good versioning communicates intent to consumers. It tells them whether an update is safe to adopt or requires migration work.
