+### Package managers
+
+A Package manager is a system that manages your project dependencies.
+
+The package manager provides a method to install new dependencies (also referred to as "packages"), manage where packages are stored on your file system, and offer capabilities for you to publish your own packages.
+
+### Package types
+
+Each package manager, platform, type, or ecosystem has its own conventions and protocols to identify, locate, and provision software packages.
+
+The following table is a non-exhaustive list of some of the package managers and types referenced in GitLab documentation and software tools.
