Concepts

These are some package publishing concepts and problems in the Node ecosystem that vlt builds upon.

Package Registry How do you share your libraries or tools with others? A registry!

Named Registries Alias registry URLs for multi-registry workflows and explicit resolution.

Dependencies Branch and leaf; all kinds of dependencies make up the favorite software you use.

Manifest What is a package.json? What's inside it?

Packuments The complete registry metadata document containing all versions, dist-tags, and timestamps.
