Pyrevit CLI explaination

Tools

Hey @Bmoreawesom3 ,

I think all you really need is here Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.

If I reverse engineer your train of thoughts, I would:

  1. Fork pyrevit repo from github
  2. edit that fork to rearrange pyrevit base tools as required
  3. install pyrevit from that forked and modified repo of pyrevit using CLI (you would need to get the pyrevit CLI installed first) and the pyrevit clone ... function then pyrevit attach ... _ use the --help argument after both function to get the explaination on how they work
  4. then pyrevit extend to add your extension from a github repo (the git can be private and you would use a token to get it installed) (along these lines an old conversation Install and update pyRevit extension from a private repo - #23 by giused8)
  5. finally to make sure your extension is always up to date on everybody’s computer your can write something like this in the startup.py file of your extension
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import os

os.system('cmd /c "pyrevit extensions update YourExtensionName --token="yourGithubToken""')
