Plugin Repository maintenance approach

As of now Plugin Repository feature of SwiftBar relies on repository.json. The content is derived from bitbar-plugins.

Some thoughts on a possible target state:

  • bitbar-plugins is pretty active, there is no reason to entice people to move their plugin to this repository unless it uses SwiftBar specific features
  • repository.json definition file should be edited though PRs, one PR for one plugin change

TODOs:

  • Create a PR template for repository.json changes
  • Create a PR template for plugin changes, if plugin is stored in this repository
  • Build GitHub Action to populate repository.json from bitbar-plugins. Action should open a PR request, human approval required
  • make it clear repository.json what is the source of the plugin like repository=bitbar-plugins or something like that. Make sure that UI shows it explicitly.
