Releasing closed-source JavaScript/TypeScript packages for internal use presents challenges like code leakage and automation. This article outlines a systematic approach to utilizing GitHub Packages, emphasizing its benefits over npmjs.org, especially for internal utilities. Key advantages include integrated repository management, scoped access, and familiarity for teams already using GitHub. The author recommends a specific directory structure that keeps distributable files separate from internal scripts and highlights the importance of GitHub's release tagging to ensure that only completed work is published. The outlined GitHub Actions workflow automates the publishing process effectively.
Releasing a closed-source, reusable JavaScript/TypeScript package for internal use is streamlined when using GitHub Packages, ensuring modularity and preventing code leakage.
GitHub Packages provides integrated access control ideal for internal packages. This avoids unnecessary complications of managing extra accounts or permissions, enhancing team workflow.
Structuring the package directory ensures only distributable code is included, particularly maintaining clear separation from internal development files, therefore preventing accidental exposure.
Utilizing GitHubâs release tagging prevents incomplete or unintended releases, thereby simplifying the deployment process while ensuring code integrity.
