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, we joined hundreds of developers in Berlin for GitHub Satellite, our global developer conference. To celebrate our interconnected community, we launched GitHub Sponsors to help support open source maintainers and contributors, released new security features to enable more secure software development from start to finish, and introduced new capabilities that address the needs of enterprises and large organizations.

We’re thrilled to announce the beta of GitHub Sponsors, a new way to financially support the developers who build the open source software you use every day. Open source developers build tools for the rest of us. GitHub Sponsors is a new tool to help them succeed, too.

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.
