npm has joined GitHub
With the npm acquisition complete, we’re ready to start the next chapter of npm and support the JavaScript community in a new way.
We’re excited to announce that GitHub has completed its acquisition of npm.
The public npm registry will always be available and free for the millions of developers who use it. Now that npm is officially part of GitHub, we’re beginning work on our three immediate areas of focus:
- Engaging with the community
- Investing in the registry infrastructure and platform
- Improving the core experience
We’re honored to be part of the next chapter of npm and support the JavaScript community in a new way.
Check out the GitHub and npm blog posts for more information on what this means for the community.
