Source code of contributed Third-party addons for the Gramps genealogy program.
To develop your own addon:
Note: The default git branch is master. The master branch should only be used to develop addons that require features or changes found in the Gramps master branch. Most of the time addons should be developed to work with the current released version of Gramps (maintenance/gramps52 for the Gramps 5.2.x versions for example).
So use care when creating your addon to base off of the correct branch, and also to select the correct branch when creating a PR on Github.
Use make.py for Gramps addons.
Clone both this repository and the addon repository if you intend to rebuild the addon
https://github.com/gramps-project/addons
Once you use the comands below the version number will be incremented and the resulting files will be in the second addon repository to be commited.
