Description
Gitlab and Gitea allows you to self host your own git servers. It would be amazing to see the ability to install packages directly from any gitlab or gitea instance.
And to have the ability to have packages use dependancies directly from Github, Gitlab and Gitea repository and not have to only rely on dependencies from the NPM repository.
Such a feature will allow for decentralisation, private repositories and the ability to truly self host your own packages.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing npm CLI's existing package-install and dependency-resolution paths, including how GitHub repositories are handled. Done should cover installing from arbitrary GitLab and Gitea instances and declaring dependencies hosted on GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea.
