GitHub-Based Workflow

Packages can be published and installed from GitHub repositories.

Why this exists​

GitHub provides a simple, decentralized way to share and distribute packages without a central registry.

How it works​

Packages are published by pushing to GitHub. Others install using github:user/repo syntax, which downloads and installs the package.

Examples​

# Install from GitHub
kex install github:username/math-utils

# In kexra.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "math-utils": "github:username/math-utils"
  }
}

Common mistakes​

  • Not tagging releases properly
  • Publishing unstable code
  • Not including kexra.json in repository
