Packmule Registry

Packmule serves as an experimental implementation of a serverless registry for Unity Package Manager (UPM) packages.

The registry serves two primary purposes:

Develop and distribute first-party Unity packages directly through GitHub-powered infrastructure.

Consume packages published on NuGet.org and expose them in a format compatible with Unity Package Manager, making a large portion of the .NET ecosystem available to Unity developers.

Unity package distribution typically requires dedicated registry infrastructure, hosting, storage, and maintenance.

This project explores a different approach:

• ✅ No registry servers
• ✅ No databases
• ✅ No self-hosted package infrastructure
• ✅ GitHub-native workflows
• ✅ Cloudflare-powered edge delivery
• ✅ Automated package ingestion
• ✅ Compatible with Unity Package Manager
• ✅ Supports both native UPM and transformed NuGet packages

 Unity Package Manager

1. GitHub Actions discovers, imports, validates, or transforms packages.
2. Source packages originate from NuGet.org or organization repositories.
3. Package artifacts are published to GitHub Packages.
4. A Cloudflare-powered proxy exposes a Unity-compatible registry endpoint.
5. Unity Package Manager consumes packages through standard scoped registries.
