Plugin¶

Releases¶

oQtopus looks in the GitHub release assets for an asset labeled oqtopus.plugin. The asset should be the ZIP archive of the QGIS plugin, ready to be installed.

Development branches and pull requests¶

For development branches and pull requests, oQtopus looks for a GitHub Actions workflow artifact named oqtopus.plugin. This allows testers to install the plugin directly from a branch or PR without waiting for a release.

To enable this, name the artifact oqtopus.plugin in your workflow's upload-artifact step:

- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
  with:
    name: oqtopus.plugin
    path: my-plugin.zip

Note

Downloading workflow artifacts requires a GitHub personal access token. Users without a token will still be able to use the source archive but won't have access to the built plugin asset.
