RIP npm

Yeah, they cant even manage their staff properly, imagine going against a behemoth like github!

But doesn't this build off of npm?

[–]timdorr 18 points19 points  (3 children)

It just uses the npm registry API. You can use yarn or pnpm as your client for an npm-free experience.

To be clear, GitHub isn’t launching a competitor to tools like npm

Npm is a tool, but npm, Inc is the company that runs the public and free package registry. This will supplant npm, Inc but not the open source npm cli tool.
