Question

I have started to write a plugin for PhoneGap and now I want to create a folder under IPhone directory inside PhoneGap Plugins Git. Is there a guide I can follow to create a directory for my Plugin so developers could contribute?

Answer 1

The easiest way would be to:

• fork the PhoneGap Plugins GitHub repo, that is create a clone managed by you on the GitHub server side: see GitHub help page on Fork a Repo
• clone that fork locally
• make your own folder with your plugin, and push it back to your GitHub fork, making it visible by all
• ask for developers to contribute to your own plugin, by forking themselves your own version of the PhoneGap Plugins project
• include any pull requests from those developers
• once you are satisfied with your plugins and the developers contributions you have included, submit your own pull request to the original project.

You create in essence an intermediate PhoneGap repo, which will collect all contributions (yours and other developers) for your own plugin, before submitting that new folder content back to the original PhoneGap Plugins project.
