How to submit your plugin

1. Create a file named ${name}-${uuid}.json in the plugins directory.
2. Copy these items from your plugin project's plugin.json file:
   • ID
   • Name
   • Description
   • Author
   • Version
   • Language
   • Website
3. Add UrlDownload, UrlSourceCode, and IcoPath to the file.
4. It should look like this:

   {
     "ID": "Unique GUID from your plugin.json",  
     "Name": "Plugin name",
     "Description": "Short description",
     "Author": "Author",
     "Version": "Version from your plugin.json",
     "Language": "Programming language",
     "Website": "Plugin website",
     "UrlDownload": "URL to download",
     "UrlSourceCode": "URL to source code",
     "IcoPath": "Plugin icon image's CDN URL, e.g. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer/Images/explorer.png"
   }

5. For IcoPath, use a CDN provider for global accessibility. jsdelivr.com for example as shown above, works well with GitHub repositories.
6. It is a requirement to set up a GitHub Actions workflow for automated build and release. Follow the guide here and use this as an example.
7. Submit a pull request.
8. The plugin will be available in Flow after the pull request is approved by the Flow Launcher Team.

Flow downloads the plugins manifest file from various CDN providers, so when your new plugin appears is dependant on when these providers next sync the updated file, and this can be anywhere from one to three hours.

Every three hours the CI in this repository will check for new updates from plugins and automatically update them to the latest version.

Plugin submissions that could potentially harm the computer or contains malicious code will not be accepted.

Plugin Store

Users will be able to install your plugin via the store or type pm install <your-plugin-name>:
