Custom package registry for open source projects

Hi there.
We are working on a public registry of open source packages for Unity https://xcrew.dev/
We will welcome any projects.
You can suggest any packages you know, or if you are working on one yourself, then contact me here or via the contacts below.

For maintainers:
1. Create a pair login:hash on the site http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/
2. Select the scope in which your packages will be placed. (For example it is com.neuecc or com.cysharp or both)
3. PM me it and I will add your account
4. Install npm
5. Start the terminal and enter `npm set registry http://xcrew.dev`
6. Enter `npm login`
7. Go to the root of your package in the terminal and enter `npm publish`


All dependencies are resolved automatically by the package manager.
It is necessary to specify the dependencies for additional packages like so

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. {
3.    "name": "com.modesttree.zenject.reflectionbaking",
4.    "author": "Modest Tree",
5.    "displayName": "Zenject.ReflectionBaking",
6.    "unity": "2018.1",
7.    "version": "8.0.0",
8.    "keywords": [
9.        "IoC",
10.        "DI",
11.        "Dependency Injection",
12.        "Zenject"
13.    ],
14.    "dependencies": {
15.        "com.modesttree.zenject": "8.0.0"
16.    },
17.    "repository": {
18.        "type": "git",
19.        "url": "https://github.com/modesttree/Zenject.git"
20.    }
21. }
22.  

To add registry support to the project, add the following lines to the `manifest.json`

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. {
3.   "dependencies": {
4.   },
5.   "scopedRegistries": [
6.     {
7.       "name": "Unity",
8.       "url": "https://packages.unity.com",
9.       "scopes": [
10.         "com.unity"
11.       ]
12.     },
13.     {
14.       "name": "XCrew",
15.       "url": "http://xcrew.dev",
16.       "scopes": [
17.         "com"
18.       ]
19.     }
20.   ]
21. }
22.  

In the editor it looks like this

Hello benoitv_unity

Thanks for the answer.
I think it would be more convenient if in the manifest the attribute "registry" was not a string, but an array of strings, then I would not have to use scopedRegistries.
There are too many different scopes on my registry to enter them all by hand in the manifest and their number will increase.
I can of course make them children of the scope "com.xcrew", but this doesn’t really change anything.

I tried to configure my registry to proxy packages through itself.
Packages were displayed on the link
https://xcrew.dev/-/all
But UPM, unfortunately, does not accept this.
So I had to use scopedRegistries.

I really hope that in the future, categorization by scopes will appear in the package manager window and there will be easier ways to use third-party registries.

Regards,
Oleg
