Register in the community registry

The registry is a registry.json of sources that Filer reads to fill Connect’s “Registry Sources” list. It’s a directory of sources, not a store of plugins — listing here doesn’t install anything on its own, it just makes your source easier to find than pasting a URL.

Before you start

Your source repository should already work when added by URL in Connect — see Use your own plugin source. Registering a source that doesn’t resolve on its own won’t resolve any better from the registry.

Steps

1. Confirm your source works when added by URL (previous page).

2. Fork iyulab/filer-plugin-registry.

3. Add an entry to sources[] in registry.json:

   {
     "name": "my-filer-plugins",
     "url": "https://github.com/you/my-filer-plugins",
     "description": "Brief description of your plugins"
   }

4. Add a row for your source to the README table.

5. Open a pull request.

Review criteria

A submission is reviewed against these, verbatim from the repository:

• Publicly accessible
• Valid filer-plugins.json
• Clear and accurate descriptions
• No malicious or deceptive content

The official flag on a registry entry is set only on the maintainers’ own source — it isn’t something a submitted pull request sets for itself.
