Add Package Command

The add:package command helps you add a package from one of your pre-configured sources to a repository and select relevant projects for the import. It guides you through a few prompts, making it easy to add a package.

How to Run the Command​

To run the command, use the following command:

packistry add:package

Step-by-Step Instructions​

When you run the command, it will guide you through several prompts. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Select a Repository​

First, you'll be asked to select a repository to add the package to. The command will display a list of repositories that you can choose from.

2. Select a Package Source​

Next, you’ll need to select a source from which the package will be added. The available sources will be displayed for selection.

3. Select Projects​

Once the source is selected, you’ll be prompted to choose which projects to import from the source. This step includes a search function where you can type the first few characters of the project name.

Type at least 4 characters to search for projects

  • After entering your search term, a list of matching projects will appear, and you can select multiple projects.

4. Webhook Setup (Optional)​

You will be asked whether you want to create a webhook for the package. A webhook helps automate certain tasks, like sending notifications or triggering updates when changes occur.

  • Type yes to create the webhook or no if you don't want one.

5. View the Added Package​

After completing the steps, the system will create the package and display the names of the added packages on the screen.

  • Example output: 
    Package One added
    Package Two added

This confirms that the packages have been successfully added to your selected repository.
