General is the default Julia package registry. Package registries are used by Julia's
package manager [Pkg.jl][pkg] and includes information about packages such as versions,
dependencies and compatibility constraints.
The General registry is open for everyone to use and provides access to a large ecosystem
of packages.
If you are registering a new package, please make sure that you have read the [package naming rules][naming-guidelines].
Follow along new package registrations with the `#new-packages-feed` channels in the
community Slack or Zulip!
See our **Contributing Guidelines** for ways to get involved!
## Registering a package in General
New packages and new versions of packages are added to the General registry by pull requests
against this GitHub repository. It is ***highly recommended*** that you use
[Registrator.jl][registrator] to automate this process. Registrator can either be used as a
[GitHub App][registrator-app] or through a [web interface][registrator-web], as described in
the [Registrator README][registrator-readme]. For packages hosted on GitHub.com or GitLab.com,
the use of Registrator is required.
When Registrator is triggered a pull request is opened against this repository. Pull
requests that meet certain guidelines are merged automatically, see
Automatic merging of pull requests. Other pull
requests need to be manually reviewed and merged by a human.
It is ***highly recommended*** to also use [TagBot][tagbot], which automatically tags a release in your
repository after the new release of your package is merged into the registry.
