# Package Registry
> [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/221259) to GitLab Core in 13.3.
With the GitLab Package Registry, you can use GitLab as a private or public registry
for a variety of common package managers. You can publish and share
packages, which can be easily consumed as a dependency in downstream projects.
## View packages
You can view packages for your project or group.
1. Go to the project or group.
1. Go to **{package}****Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
You can search, sort, and filter packages on this page.
For information on how to create and upload a package, view the GitLab documentation for your package type.
## Use GitLab CI/CD to build packages
You can use [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md) to build packages.
For Maven and NPM packages, and Composer dependencies, you can
authenticate with GitLab by using the `CI_JOB_TOKEN`.
CI/CD templates, which you can use to get started, are in [this repo](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates).
Learn more about [using CI/CD to build Maven packages](../maven_repository/index.md#creating-maven-packages-with-gitlab-cicd)
and [NPM packages](../npm_registry/index.md#publishing-a-package-with-cicd).
If you use CI/CD to build a package, extended activity
information is displayed when you view the package details:
