Plugins

The Porter client is extensible and anyone can write a plugin to integrate with Porter. Plugins extend the Porter client, reimplementing Porter’s default functionality. For example, Porter saves installation data, credential sets and parameter sets using the local filesystem to ~/.porter by default. A plugin can change that behavior to save them to cloud storage instead.

Plugins are very different from mixins, which give you building blocks for authoring bundles. There are a couple types of plugins and a single plugin binary may contain multiple implementations.

See the Search Guide on how to search for available plugins and/or add your own to the list.
