 Guldoman | so it's just a matter of git pull to update them | 19:22:51 |
| Guldoman | keep in mind that if you're using master Lite XL, you have to use the 2.1 branch of the plugins repo | 19:23:13 |
 Georgios O Papadopoulos | are there any directions on doing that? I am a newcomer in git---stuff | 19:23:25 |
| Guldoman | go to the directory where you want to keep the cloned repo then:
git clone https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl-plugins.git
| 19:24:21 |
| Guldoman | if you use Lite XL master do:
cd lite-xl-plugins
git switch 2.1
| 19:24:47 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | ( I have the latest AppImage of Lite-XL so I suppose I am OK) | 19:25:15 |
| Guldoman | latest AppImage should be the "normal" version, yes | 19:25:38 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | ok..so after git switch? | 19:27:02 |
| Guldoman | nope, no git switch | 19:27:22 |
| Guldoman | Lite XL master is not released yet | 19:27:34 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | so... 1 ) git clone https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl-plugins.git
and 2) cd lite-xl-plugings... | 19:28:07 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | then? | 19:28:10 |
| Guldoman | then something like this
ln -s plugins/plugin_name.lua ~/.config/lite-xl/plugins/
| 19:29:48 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | Do I have to do it for each and every plugin? wow! | 19:30:15 |
| Guldoman | each one you want to install | 19:30:29 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | ah...ok | 19:30:41 |
| Guldoman | some file managers allow you to symlink | 19:30:57 |
|  pj#7437 changed their display name from pj to pj#7437. | 19:31:14 |
| Guldoman | or you can just copy-paste them, but you lose the simple way to update | 19:31:15 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | yes...you are right | 19:31:45 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | drawwhitespace is a suggestion, for there no such a plugin yet | 19:32:07 |
| Guldoman | drawwhitespace is in the main repo | 19:32:26 |
| Guldoman | but won't work on the released AppImage as it uses some new unreleased things | 19:32:47 |
| Guldoman | the new release is not far away, but I can't give you a precise date | 19:33:30 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | so which is the best way to go? to complile lte-xl by myself? | 19:33:42 |
| Guldoman | if you want the master version, yes | 19:34:03 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | perfect... | 19:34:22 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | many many thanks for your promptness and kind (as well as detailed) response to my questions ;) | 19:34:56 |
| Guldoman | no worries, I'm here to help | 19:35:07 |
| Georgios O Papadopoulos | 👍️ | 19:35:29 |
