Submitting a Plugin

In order for a plugin to get accepted to this official repository, it must target the general game audience and be completely open and readable, not be encoded or encrypted in any form.
If your plugin doesn't target the general game audience, you can put your plugins in a GitHub repository and then your plugins can be installed through the custom source option in-game. See 3rd party plugin sources for more information.
New plugins are accepted through a pull request. Add your plugin in the minigames, utilities, or the category directory you feel is the most relevant to the type of plugin you're submitting, here. Then add an entry to the category's JSON metadata file (check out existing entries to know what all fields are required). Plugin manager will also show and execute the settings icon if your ba.Plugin export class has a method named on_plugin_manager_prompt; check out the colorscheme plugin for an example and it's behaviour when the settings icon is tapped on via the plugin manager in-game.

Updating a Plugin

Make a pull request with whatever changes you'd like to make to an existing plugin, and add a new version entry in your plugin category's JSON metadata file.

3rd Party Plugin Sources

In case your plugin doesn't sit well with our guidelines or you wouldn't want your plugin to be here for some reason, you can create your own GitHub repository and put all your plugins in there.
Check out https://github.com/rikkolovescats/sahilp-plugins for an example. You can choose to show up plugins from this repository in your plugin manager by adding rikkolovescats/sahilp-plugins as a custom source through the category selection popup window in-game.

Tests

Metadata tests are automatically executed whenever a pull request is opened and a commit is pushed. You can also run them locally by installing test dependencies with:

$ pip install -r test/pip_reqs.txt

and then executing the following in the project's root directory:

$ python -m unittest discover -v
