Summary
This feature tracks the GA release of support for generic packages which allows customers to upload arbitrary file types to GitHub Packages and retrieve that data directly as files or folders. This is intended for packages that don't have an established client. Example uses are installers, audio files, video files, etc. that you would use with your service.

Intended Outcome
Some customers have arbitrary file types such as vendored binary components or proprietary file types that are used in their deployments. By supporting generic packages, GitHub Packages allows you to manage these assets alongside other packages and easily integrate into release workflows. It's easy to tag and version these assets such that they can be pulled into production environments.

How will it work?
You can use the ORAS client to push to the OCI artifacts storage with oras push and download it with oras pull.
