+## Authenticate to the package registry
+
+To authenticate to the Package Registry, you need to provide [custom HTTP headers or use HTTP Basic authentication]({{< relref "doc/developers/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}).
+
+## Publish a package
+
+To publish a generic package perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.
+You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
+
+```
+PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/generic/{package_name}/{package_version}/{file_name}
+```
+
+| Parameter         | Description |
+| ----------------- | ----------- |
+| `owner`           | The owner of the package. |
+| `package_name`    | The package name. It can contain only lowercase letters (`a-z`), uppercase letter (`A-Z`), numbers (`0-9`), dots (`.`), hyphens (`-`), or underscores (`_`). |
+| `package_version` | The package version as described in the [SemVer](https://semver.org/) spec. |
+| `file_name`       | The filename. It can contain only lowercase letters (`a-z`), uppercase letter (`A-Z`), numbers (`0-9`), dots (`.`), hyphens (`-`), or underscores (`_`). |

+
+```shell
+curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
+     --upload-file path/to/file.bin \
+     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/generic/test_package/1.0.0/file.bin
+```
+
+The server reponds with the following HTTP Status codes.

+| `201 Created`     | The package has been published. |
+| `400 Bad Request` | The package name and/or version are invalid or a package with the same name and version already exist. |
+
