📡 Unofficial Micro Plugin Channel

Note

This is an unofficial plugin channel. For the official one, go to here.

Unmaintained plugins there will be replaced with the ones here with unofficial prefix. (WIP)

This channel is a fork of the discontinued channel by taconi. Credit goes to him

❓️ Why an unofficial channel?

See this and this

Basically, we are having difficulty updating the micro plugin channel and also some of the plugins themselves as we don't have access to merge new changes.

On top of that, I personally would like to do the plugin channel differently. The ability to have a stable and dev channel and easy to understand table for all the plugins.

🔰 Getting Started

Edit your settings.json located in ~/.config/micro (Unix) or C:\Users\<your user name>\.config\micro (Windows)

There are 2 channels you can choose, stable or main.

Stable is recommended for most people. Main if you want to need the latest upstream changes.

CHOOSE ONE ONLY

Add the one you want to the pluginchannels array in settings.json,

Stable

All the plugins in this channel are located in this repo and checked to not contain malicious code.

"pluginchannels": [
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Neko-Box-Coder/unofficial-plugin-channel/stable/channel.json"
]

Main

All the plugins are located externally with the latest update and is possible to contain malicious code (i.e. supply chain attack).

"pluginchannels": [
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Neko-Box-Coder/unofficial-plugin-channel/main/channel.json"
]

Important

Although plugins in stable channel are checked where they are malicious or not, I CANNOT provide any warranty and not responsible in case damage is caused by any of the plugins.
