GitLab PM here: The GitHub registry looks really interesting. I like how they incorporated search and how they are encouraging people to host their packages on GitHub instead of npm.

At GitLab, the CE edition currently offers a container registry, that allows users to build, push and share images using the Docker client and/or GitLab CI/CD.

The EE edition offers an NPM and Maven registry, that allows users to publish, download and share dependencies. Both also integrate with GitLab CI/CD. We are currently working on Conan (C/C++) and NuGet (.NET). We are evaluating moving these features to CE as well.

We also offer a proxy to for Docker images (which will be extended to each registry) that improves reliability and performance and (in the future) will help mitigate and remediate open source risk.

If you end up trying GitHub's registry, I'd love to hear more about what you thought.
