**Table 1** CodeArts Artifact best practices
Best Practice	Description
Releasing Maven Components and Archiving to a Self-Hosted Repo	CodeArts Artifact focuses on and manages the staging software packages (usually built by or packed from the source code) and their lifecycle metadata. The metadata includes basic properties such as the name and size, repository paths, code branch information, build tasks, creators, and build time. Throughout the development process, the software package is continuously refined across different versions. The management of software packages and their properties is the basis of release management. Therefore, developers need to regularly review the version history of software packages. This practice describes how to archive a Maven component by version to a self-hosted repo via a build task.
Releasing/Obtaining an npm Component via a Build Task	A self-hosted repo manages private component packages (such as Maven) corresponding to various development languages. Different development language components vary in the archive format. A self-hosted repo manages private development language components and shares them with other developers in the same enterprise or team. This practice describes how to release a component to an npm repository via a build task and obtain a dependency from the repository for deployment.
Releasing/Obtaining a Go Component via a Build Task	This practice describes how to release a component to a Go repository via a build task and obtain a dependency from the repository for deployment.
Releasing/Obtaining a PyPI Component via a Build Task	This practice describes how to release a component to a PyPI repository via a build task and obtain a dependency from the repository for deployment.
Uploading/Obtaining an RPM Component Using Linux Commands	This practice describes how to use Linux commands to upload a component to an RPM repository and obtain a dependency from the repository.
Uploading/Obtaining a Debian Component Using Linux Commands	This practice describes how to use Linux commands to upload a component to a Debian repository and obtain a dependency from the repository.
Batch Migrating Maven/npm/PyPI Components to a Self-Hosted Repo	Self-hosted repos allow you to manually upload and download components. They can also interconnect with your local development environment to upload and download components. Uploading numerous packages one at a time can be cumbersome. You can use the migration tool provided by self-hosted repos to upload components in batches from Nexus or other repositories.
