  Description     : The toolkit to pack, ship, store, and deliver containers (Library + Program)

 This repository's main product is the Open Source Registry
 implementation for storing and distributing container images and other
 content using the OCI Distribution Specification
 (https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec). The goal of this
 project is to provide a simple, secure, and scalable base for building a
 large scale registry solution or running a simple private registry. It
 is a core library for many registry operators including Docker Hub,
 GitHub Container Registry, GitLab Container Registry and DigitalOcean
 Container Registry, as well as the CNCF Harbor Project, and VMware
 Harbor Registry.

This is the standard server implementation to distribute OCI artefacts (mostly Container images).
Its library is also widely used, and its a dependency for kubernetes-helm.
