Universal Packages

Universal Packages is a CLI tool for pushing and pulling private code packages using OCI (Open Container Initiative) registries. It provides a ecosystem-agnostic, decentralized, and standardized way to distribute private SDKs and packages across teams and ecosystems.

🔧 Currently supports npm packages. Future support for pip, NuGet, and Go is planned.

✨ Goals

• ✅ Support for installing and publishing private packages across ecosystems.
• ✅ Use standard OCI registries (e.g. GitHub, AWS, Azure).
• ✅ Minimal ecosystem-specific logic; rely on established package formats.
• ✅ Reproducible and interoperable workflows.
