AiiDA plugin registry

This repository contains the source of the official registry of AiiDA plugins.

If you are starting to develop a new plugin (e.g. using the AiiDA plugin cutter) or if you already have one, please register it here. We strongly encourage to register at early stages of development, since this both "reserves" the name of your plugin and informs the developer community of your ongoing work.

2. Add your plugin to the plugins.json file, e.g.
