Open-source code is a blessing for the IT industry — it helps programmers save time and build products faster and more efficiently by eliminating the need of writing repetitive common code. To facilitate this knowledge sharing, there are repositories — open platforms where any developer can publish their own packages with their code to speed up the development process for other people.

Such repositories serve countless needs of the IT community and are widely used in development of basically any modern software: web app, mobile app, smart appliance, robot, you name it. Most popular packages get millions of weekly downloads and are at the foundation of many applications, from pet projects to well-known tech startups.
