All that matters is that when you configure your remote repositories for those packages, you -point them at the same project on GitLab. - -## Why would I do this? - -There are a few reasons you might want to publish all your packages to one project on GitLab: - -1. You want to publish your packages on GitLab, but to a project that is different from where your code is stored. -1. You would like to group packages together in ways that make sense for your usage (such as all NPM packages in one project, - all packages being used by a specific department in one project, or all private packages in one project) -1.

Add the appropriate URL for publishing +packages to your project. Finally, add a section to your `package.json` file. -Follow -the instructions in the [GitLab NPM Registry documentation](../npm_registry/index.md#authenticate-to-the-package-registry). After -you do this, you can push your NPM package to your project using `npm publish`, as described in the -[publishing packages](../npm_registry/index.md#publish-an-npm-package) section of the docs. +Follow the instructions in the +[GitLab NPM Registry documentation](../npm_registry/index.md#authenticate-to-the-package-registry).

These updates include the appropriate URL for your project, as described in the [GitLab Maven Repository documentation](../maven_repository/index.md#project-level-maven-endpoint). Then, you need to add a `settings.xml` file and [include your access token](../maven_repository/index.md#authenticate-with-a-personal-access-token-in-maven). -Now you can [deploy Maven packages](../maven_repository/index.md#publish-a-package) to your project. +Now you can [publish Maven packages](../maven_repository/index.md#publish-a-package) to your project. + +### Conan -#### Conan +For Conan, you need to add GitLab as a Conan registry remote. Follow the instructions in the +[GitLab Conan Repository docs](../conan_repository/index.md#add-the-package-registry-as-a-conan-remote). +Then, create your package using the plus-separated (`+`) project path as your Conan user. For example, +if your project is located at `https://gitlab.com/foo/bar/my-proj`, +[create your Conan package](../conan_repository/index.md) using `conan create . foo+bar+my-proj/channel`. +`channel` is your package channel (such as `stable` or `beta`). -For Conan, first you need to add GitLab as a Conan registry remote. Follow the instructions in the [GitLab Conan Repository docs](../conan_repository/index.md#add-the-package-registry-as-a-conan-remote) -to do so. Then, create your package using the plus-separated (`+`) project path as your Conan user. For example, -if your project is located at `https://gitlab.com/foo/bar/my-proj`, then you can [create your Conan package](../conan_repository/index.md) -using `conan create . foo+bar+my-proj/channel`, where `channel` is your package channel (such as `stable` or `beta`). After your package -is created, you are ready to [upload your package](../conan_repository/index.md#publish-a-conan-package) depending on your final package recipe. For example: +After you create your package, you're ready to [publish your package](../conan_repository/index.md#publish-a-conan-package), +depending on your final package recipe. For example: ```shell CONAN_LOGIN_USERNAME=<gitlab-username> CONAN_PASSWORD=<personal_access_token> conan upload MyPackage/1.0.0@foo+bar+my-proj/channel --all --remote=gitlab ``` -#### Composer - -It is currently not possible to publish a Composer package to a project that is different from where its code resides. +### All other package types -If you attempt to publish a Composer package to a different project, you get a `404 Branch Not Found` -or `404 Tag Not Found` error. +[All package types supported by GitLab](../index.md) can be published in +the same GitLab project.
