With GitHub’s focus on developers, community, and customers, we can’t imagine a better place for our team to be.

At GitHub, we believe in empowering developers around the world. We also believe in basic human rights and treating people with respect and dignity.

Today we’re excited to announce that we’ll be adding support for Swift packages to GitHub Package Registry. Swift packages make it easy to share your libraries and source code across your projects and with the Swift community.

Today, Atlassian Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab are issuing a joint blog post in a coordinated effort to help educate and inform users of the three platforms on secure best practices relating to the recent Git ransomware incident. Though there is no evidence Atlassian Bitbucket, GitHub, or GitLab products were compromised in any way, we believe it’s important to help the software development community better understand and collectively take steps to protect against this threat.

With GitHub Package Registry your packages are at home with their code—sign up for the limited beta to try it out.

We’re excited to welcome the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) to GitHub.
