Switch from GitHub Packages

  1. Add GitHub Packages as an upstream

    https://maven.pkg.github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY

    Sign in with your GitHub username and a classic token with read:packages. Your existing packages resolve through Artifex.

  2. Point your builds at Artifex

    One build at a time, while the rest keep using GitHub Packages.

  3. Remove the upstream

    Artifex keeps every file that your builds fetched through it.

Or let a coding agent do it with the Set up with AI prompt.

Questions

Can I keep publishing from GitHub Actions?
