    It seems like tools are targeting VC and CD for full games. However, a popular model for my team is to split a game/application into multiple packages that can be re-used between projects.

    Can I use DevOps to build/publish packages that I can reference in the Package Manager?

    Hi @tbg10101_ that's an interesting idea.

    Do you mean like for example a package of Rocks/Trees 3d meshes and textures, that is stored on a repo and can be grabbed for another game project in the future? (that's just an example to help me visualize)

    Or you prefer to import it specifically via the package manager?

    I mean like how we can do with Github today. For example, I created this Unity package on Github and I can install it via the package manager.

    If I were so inclined I could run tests in some CI tools.

    DevOps seems like it would be nice to use for closed source packages. (or for publishing to a public repo of packages)

    I see, thanks for the extra information!
    It sounds like an interesting use case, you're absolutely right.

    I'll add it to our list of features to be considered for future development, thanks a lot for the suggestion
