Outdated plugins
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I see you're using some of my plugins here. Thanks for the support but I noticed most of them are pretty outdated. Maybe you can make use of git submodules and then use something like Dependabot to get notified for updates :)

I've already tried using git submodules, but I'm not the best with git and they were messy to get working imo.
I've seen you updated my plugins, thanks!
As for the mentioned implementation, It's not that hard.
I mean yeah some userplugins are not in the right form for them to allow simply cloning the repo in a plugins folder where you would have to resort back to symlinking. The same applies for a repo where you don't want every plugin. (I don't see that as a big problem because users can just leave the other plugins disabled)
Not sure if symlinks work the same on Windows but git definitely supports UNIX symlinks.
To implement this I'd just make a folder like submodules somewhere and add them there using git submodule add <url>. After that create the corresponding symlinks in your suncordplugins folder. Then setup Dependabot with the gitsubmodule option for that folder.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll stick to manually updating. :)
