# Packages and Registries **(FREE)**
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
The GitLab [Package Registry ](package_registry/index.md ) acts as a private or public registry
for a variety of common package managers. You can publish and share
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
packages, which can be easily consumed as a dependency in downstream projects.

Not all package manager formats are ready for production use. To view each format's status, see the
table's **Status** column.
