## What it is
pkg.pr.new is a continuous preview release service for open-source libraries that publishes npm-installable packages from every commit and pull request without touching the npm registry. It consists of a GitHub App, a hosted service serving npm-compatible URLs, and a CLI to publish packages from GitHub Actions workflows.

## Use cases
- let users test unreleased bug fixes from a pull request
- install a package from a specific commit without npm publish access
- automate preview releases in GitHub Actions workflows
- reduce 'can you release this fix?' comments on PRs
- add a continuous release badge to a repository README
- share instant builds of libraries with contributors

## When to choose
- you maintain an npm library and want fast feedback on PR changes
- you cannot or do not want to publish every commit to npm
- your project uses GitHub Actions and wants zero-config preview releases

## When to avoid
- you need packages published to the real npm registry
- your CI does not run on GitHub
- you need private packages or access control for previews

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: ci-cd, deployment, package-manager, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apis
- platform: cli
- tags: continuous-releases, preview-releases, npm-packages, github-app, pull-request-workflow, package-publishing, devops, automation, nodejs, web-server, docker
