Last year, we introduced the Container registry to GitHub Packages and saw developers utilize it as a way to publish, manage, and consume containers on GitHub. In fact, since its release there have been many millions of downloads occurring each day. Throughout the beta, we added features to improve the experience of using the Container registry. Today, we’re excited to announce that the Container registry is generally available as part of GitHub Packages!

The Container registry adds capabilities to GitHub Packages for you and your organizations to work with containers effectively in your development. Since introducing the beta, we incrementally released and shared some additional features for Container registry. Here’s your full wrap-up of all you can take advantage of:

As a part of Container registry becoming generally available, we are consolidating the Docker registry into Container registry. If you have previously published Docker containers to docker.pkg.github.com, you will see them automatically migrated to the Container registry in the coming weeks. Your existing containers now have access to all the additional features listed above! Fear not — existing pull links and references to docker.pkg.github.com will continue to work without any hiccups.
