Private (or "3rd party") Component Registry?

[gamename]

Hi,

Has anyone succeeded in creating their own registry? If so, how? I've been going over the docs and it isn't clear if that's possible. Basically, I want to have my own collection of components to pull with `idf.py add-submodule`.

Or, should I just create component repos and add them as submodules manually?

Thanks,
-T

I have not ever been able to identify such a possibility.

git submodules is probably the best alternative, and not a terrible one honesty.
Ideally Espressif could publish the source code from the registry with an option to self-host; but I don't really see much in the source code of the toolchain that would make that an easy process...

You can include the GitHub repository as managed_components in your project.

Create an idf_component.yml like this in your project.
When you build a projects esp-idf will automaticly fetch repository to managed_components dir and link with your code.

Code: Select all

$ cat main/idf_component.yml
## IDF Component Manager Manifest File
