Registry rules ​

The pets repository is the name-to-repository index for Kirn package discovery.

What belongs here ​

  • registry.toml — registry metadata and index state.
  • README.md — repository-level explanation.
  • Contribution, policy, and documentation changes.
  • Maintainer-managed registry automation.

What does not belong here ​

  • Pet source code.
  • A copied release workflow for every Pet.
  • Secrets or release credentials.
  • Hand-edited Pet entries that bypass the release workflow.

The Pet repository owns its source, tests, metadata, release workflow, and tagged artifacts. The registry resolves names to those repositories and release outputs.

Install forms ​

bash
kirn i <name>
kirn i <user>/<repo>
kirn i https://git-host/<user>/<repo>

The exact resolver behavior follows the Kirn toolchain version you are using.
