Integration with public repositories
- Third-party software - makes 3rd party software available for use (like npm Registry)
- Approved packages - IT leaders can make approved packages available. Often this

- Efficient - Developers know where to find approved packages and publish their own,
ensuring consistency across the org
Integrating with public repositories
- Repository - created within your domain to hold packages
- Upstream repository - an npm store repository could be an example, where it uses
an external connection to pull the package from the public repository and syncs to the primary repo that devs access
Example architecture for associating repositories to access public code:
