About Plugins

Plugins is a GitHub repository that collects plugins for the Lite XL text editor. It was originally forked from the lite plugins repository. The repository uses a manifest.json file to list plugins, and its README is autogenerated from that manifest.

You can browse available plugins and read their descriptions. Installation instructions say that if a plugin links to its own repository, you should follow that README. If the plugin is a single file or directory, you can place it in the Lite XL plugins folder on Linux, macOS, or Windows. If you use a Lite XL plugin manager such as lpm, you can install a plugin by running lpm install plugin_name.

It suits Lite XL users who want to add features to the editor and developers who want to contribute plugins. The official repository has submission rules: plugins with a remote must pin the remote to a specific commit hash, and plugins hosted only at a URL must provide a checksum. Pull requests that do not conform are not accepted.
