Private Packagist is a platform that provides software and application developers with an easy-to-use private repository for their code. It is a private, secure and customizable repository for code, libraries, and packages that are hosted on private servers. The platform allows developers to securely share their code with teams and customers. With its private repository, developers can manage, organize, and track the usage of their code and packages. Private Packagist provides a suite of features that makes it easy to manage packages and code. It allows developers to create multiple repositories and access control to their code. It also supports private and public access control and provides detailed usage analytics and reporting. It also provides support for various package formats such as Composer, NPM, and PEAR packages. Additionally, it allows users to easily upload new packages and manage existing ones. It also provides users with a secure environment for their code and packages.
Packagist is great (of course) as a Composer service, but Cloudsmith offers a universal approach to package management across different types of package formats. It might be more appropriate if you use more than just PHP / Composer technologies.
