# Package Registries

Package registry integrations give codev's workflows authenticated access to a private npm registry, so builds and pipelines can install (and publish) private packages without committing tokens to your repository. codev stores the credential and generates an authenticated `.npmrc` on demand at run time.

## Choose a provider

{% content-ref url="/pages/NZddLqI4QEraOuxpyID7" %}
[npm Registry](/flxbl/codev/integrations/package-registries/npm.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/C2gHJRUnEQc5yR3yqRJ1" %}
[JFrog Artifactory](/flxbl/codev/integrations/package-registries/jfrog.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

GitHub Packages needs no separate registry integration — its authentication is drawn from your [GitHub](/flxbl/codev/integrations/source-control/github.md) source-control integration.

## Which registry codev uses

When more than one registry is configured, codev chooses by the **default** flag first, then by type in the order **GitHub Packages → JFrog → npm → GitLab**. To switch the active registry, mark a different integration as the **default** for the artifact-registry category. See [npm Registry](/flxbl/codev/integrations/package-registries/npm.md#which-registry-codev-uses) for the full explanation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flxbl.io/flxbl/codev/integrations/package-registries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
