Complete implementation of a centralized remote template registry for StarForge, enabling global template sharing, versioning, and community contributions.
Commands Implemented:
starforge registry search <query> # Search remote templates
starforge registry info <name> # Get template details
starforge registry login # Authenticate with registry
starforge registry signup # Create account
starforge registry logout # Logout
starforge registry publish <path> # Publish template
starforge registry install <name> # Download & install template
starforge registry review <name> # Rate/review template
starforge registry status # Show auth status
starforge registry config --url <url> # Configure registry URL
Features:
- ✅ HTTP client with
ureq(sync, no async overhead) - ✅ JWT token-based authentication
