Welcome to the SugarCE Add-ons Repository! This new CE add-on repository will allow you more control when creating your listings. As with any change, there will be questions. This FAQ is your guide to helping you get answers, ensuring a smooth transition.
Fork, pull, clone, are all part of every developer’s vernacular. Let’s face it, GitHub has defined how we do open source, community driven development. It enables our community to have far more control--something we are very excited about. If you are unfamiliar with GitHub, you walk through the github bootcamp to get started quickly. You can also check out the github guides 'Hello World' project to see the concepts in more detail.
To list your add-on, all you need to do is:
- Fork this repository
- Clone your forked copy so you can work locally
- Update the project’s markdown and listing page
- Submit a pull request
Make sure you are familiar with the policies and guidelines for listings. Once the pull request comes in, the community managers will simply accept the request and your listing is live.
