Installing Plugins

CLI Installation

You can install plugins with the omegga install https://github.com/user/repo command.

You can install plugins using a shorthand omegga install gh:user/repo which will install the plugin located at https://github.com/user/omegga-repo (note the inserted omegga- prefix).

The available shorthands are gh for github.com and gl for gitlab.com

This is the recommended way of installing plugins as it automatically runs a setup script when present.

The same is available in the omegga console as /plugin install gh:user/repo.

Manual Installation

You can clone a plugin’s github repo inside the plugins folder (created when you run omegga for the first time):

• cd plugins to navigate to plugins folder
• git clone https://github.com/user/repo to download the plugin
• Make sure to read the plugin’s README file for after-install instructions

Updating Plugins

Plugins can be updated with omegga update, or with /plugin update in the omegga console:

# update all plugins
omegga update

# update plugins named "pluginName" and "anotherPluginName"
omegga update pluginName anotherPluginName

Updating pulls new commits for every installed plugin, or the ones named. It skips a plugin with uncommitted changes, one on a branch other than main/master, and one that is ahead of its remote.

Plugins may also need to be updated based on the project’s README file.

Uninstalling Plugins

Plugins can be installed by deleting the plugin’s respective folder:

rm -rf plugins/PLUGIN_NAME
