Advanced Flags

The following flags allow you to host and import content models from your own GitHub repository.

  $ csdx seed -r "GitHub Owner/GitHub Repository"

Step 1. Export a Stack

Identify a Stack that you would like to export, and run csdx cm:export against it. This plugin uses the same libraries as csdx cm:import.

 $ csdx cm:export --help

See more info: Exporting Content

Step 2. GitHub

Once the Stack is exported:

• Create a GitHub repository
  • By convention, your repository name should be prefixed with stack-. Example: stack-your-starter-app.
  • Doing so will allow the stack names to be found by the interactive prompt when running csdx seed -r "owner".
  • The stack- prefix is optional. You can fully qualify the repository name if required. Example: csdx seed -r "owner/repo".
• Create a folder named stack within the newly created GitHub repository
• Take the content from Step 1 and commit it to the stack folder
• Create a Release

For reference, review the stack-gatsby-blog repository.

The latest release will be downloaded and extracted, when a user attempts to install a Stack using:

$ csdx seed -r "owner"
$ csdx seed -r "owner/repository"
