For any other forge, pass the full git URL instead, for example `https://git.example.com/owner/repo`. For local development: ```sh git clone https://github.com/xpufx/paseo.git cd paseo paseo plugin add ./plugins/plugin-updates ``` ### Limitations - **Local git installs are report-only.** With no upstream remote or recorded ref, there is nothing to compare against or pull, so no **Update** button is offered for them. Use a git remote + subpath to get updates. ### Source README #### plugin-updates Git-source update monitor and updater for [Paseo](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo) plugins (v0.8+).

Plugin updates — updating
Adds a header button to every workspace that opens a popover listing the installed plugins. Each row reports whether the plugin's installed git source is current, behind, pinned, missing, or has no upstream, and offers a one-click update when a pullable change exists. Built on [paseo-plugin-helper](https://github.com/xpufx/paseo/tree/main/packages/paseo-plugin-helper), the shared Paseo plugin runtime. > [!NOTE] > **Prerequisites & Platform Support**: > - The system `git` CLI must be available, because update checks and pulls shell out to `git`. > - Developed and tested primarily on **Linux**. ##### Core Capabilities ###### 1. Workspace Header Button - Registers a header button once per workspace, titled **Plugin updates**, that opens a popover listing every installed plugin. - The button shows a refresh glyph while a check is running, and a status dot in the corner: green when everything is fresh, amber while checking or when an update is available, and red when a check fails. ###### 2. Per-plugin Git Status Each row resolves the plugin to its git repository root, ref, and subdirectory, then probes the remote to classify the install: - **current**: the local commit or subdirectory tree matches the tracked ref, or the local checkout is ahead of the remote. - **behind**: the remote ref has commits the local checkout does not, so an update is available. - **pinned**: the install is pinned to a fixed tag or commit. Pinned installs are report only; nothing is ever pulled for them. - **no-upstream**: no upstream remote is configured, or the tracked branch or tag no longer exists on the remote. - **missing**: the remote is reachable but the plugin subdirectory does not exist at the tracked ref. - **unpinned**: a detached HEAD, or a managed install with no recorded ref. Report only. - **not-a-repo**: the plugin is not a git checkout, so no git update is possible. - **error**: the check itself failed, for example because the remote was unreachable. ###### 3. Per-subdirectory Scoping - Plugins installed from a monorepo subpath track only that subdirectory tree. A commit that touches other paths in the same repository does not register as an update. - The row shows the resolved **Subdir** (`(repo root)` when the plugin is the repository root), alongside the local and remote tree hashes and the tracked ref. ###### 4. Source Links - Each row resolves a browsable source URL from the remote the plugin was installed from, falling back to `package.json` `repository` and `homepage` metadata when no install remote exists. - GitHub, GitLab, and unknown forges get an appropriate glyph, and links deep-link into the subdirectory for GitHub (`/tree//`) and Forgejo/Gitea-style (`/src/branch//`) hosts. - A `dirty` badge appears on a directory install when the plugin scope has uncommitted changes. ###### 5. Update Action - Available updates show an **Update** button in the row. After a failed pull that needs an override, the button becomes **Force update**. - **git-managed installs** delegate to `paseo plugin update `. - **directory (path-linked) installs** resolve the repository root and run a fast-forward `git pull`. The pull is refused when the working tree is dirty unless forced, and refused when the local branch has diverged from its upstream. - After a successful pull, every plugin that shares the same repository root is reloaded. - When more than one plugin has an update, an **Update all** button appears. If any failure requires an override, **Force update all** is offered instead. ###### 6. Orphaned Directory Flagging - Directories left behind in Paseo's managed plugin location by an uninstalled or failed install are listed in a separate **Orphaned directories** section with a name and path. - Orphans are reported only; they are never probed or updated. ###### 7. Live Refresh - The popover re-checks on a 30 second interval and on demand through the refresh button, and reports the available update count in its header. ##### Installation Install from the public monorepo subpath (GitHub shorthand): ```sh paseo plugin add xpufx/paseo --path plugins/plugin-updates ``` > [!NOTE] > Bare `owner/repo` shorthand resolves against **GitHub** only. For any other forge, pass the full git URL instead, for example `https://git.example.com/owner/repo`. For local development: ```sh git clone https://github.com/xpufx/paseo.git cd paseo paseo plugin add ./plugins/plugin-updates ``` ##### Usage & Configuration - No settings are required. The header button registers automatically in each workspace that has an agent session. - Open the button to see installed plugins, their status, and available updates, then use the row **Update** button or **Update all** to pull and reload. - Checks run against the plugin's install remote only, so a fork or mirror installed as the source is what gets compared. - Pulls run with `--ff-only`. A dirty working tree or a diverged branch must be reconciled manually before an update can apply. ##### Limitations - **Local git installs are report-only.** With no upstream remote or recorded ref, there is nothing to compare against or pull, so no **Update** button is offered for them. Use a git remote + subpath to get updates. ##### Development ```sh # Typecheck npm run typecheck --workspace=plugins/plugin-updates # Typecheck plus the test suite (tsx --test) npm run test --workspace=plugins/plugin-updates # Reload in a running Paseo daemon paseo plugin reload plugin-updates paseo plugin logs plugin-updates ``` ##### License MIT
