Hi everyone,

I'm trying to publish my Python package using GitHub Package Registry, but I'm running into some issues and I'm not finding much clear documentation for Python packages on GitHub. I'm hoping someone can help me clarify the process or share any workarounds used.

There are some ways to do this. You can do it with a .pypirc file or with a yml file / toml file

You can also upload it directly to PyPi.
PyPi Guide

1. Create or Update the .pypirc File:

In your home directory, create or edit the .pypirc file (~/.pypirc).
Configure .pypirc for GitHub: Add the following to the file:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    github

[github]
repository: https://upload.github.com
username: your-github-username
password: ${GITHUB_TOKEN}

2. Generate a GitHub Token:

Go to GitHub Token Settings.
Create a new personal access token with write:packages and read:packages permissions.

3. Upload Your Package:

Use twine to upload your package:

twine upload --repository github dist/* this is an example tho
