Building Geko Plugin Archive ​

Standard way ​

You can build a ZIP archive with the plugin using the following command:

bash
geko plugin archive

This will build the executables and workspace mapper specified in the Plugin.swift manifest using SPM, creating a ZIP archive with the following folder structure:

.
├── ...
├── Plugin.swift
├── ProjectDescriptionHelpers/
├── Templates/
├── Executables/
└── Mappers/

Debug plugin archive ​

To develop and debug some plugin types (Executable and WorkspaceMapper), you may need to build the plugin with a debug configuration without packing it into a ZIP archive. You can do this with the following command:

bash
geko plugin archive --configuration debug --no-zip

And then include the PluginBuild folder in Config.swift:

swift
// Config.swift
import ProjectDescription

let config = Config(
    plugins: [
        .local(path: "/path_to_plugin/PluginBuild")
    ]
)

Custom way ​

You can also create a ZIP archive with yourself (without using geko plugin archive), as long as the folder structure matches the one described above in the previous paragraph. The presence of each folder is optional.
