## AI overview

GitHub announced that its Container registry is generally available within GitHub Packages. It adds features including anonymous public access, organization-level ownership, fine-grained permissions, container-specific pages, and secure access from Actions workflows. Existing Docker registry containers are being migrated, and prior pull links will continue to work. The registry supports OCI images and is used by projects including Homebrew and Home Assistant.
