Adding repositories

Connect Rext to sources of extensions you trust.

What is a repository?

A repository is a hosted index of extensions: a JSON manifest that lists each extension, its version, and where to fetch it. You decide which repositories to trust — Rext never adds one without your action.

Adding a repository

Open Settings → Repositories → Add Repository, then paste the repository URL. Rext validates the manifest and lists its extensions in the Extensions tab.

repository.json

{
  "name": "Official Rext Repository",
  "url": "https://repo.rext.app",
  "extensions": [
    {
      "id": "com.rext.example",
      "name": "Example",
      "version": "1.2.0",
      "download": "https://repo.rext.app/example-1.2.0.rextx"
    }
  ]
}

Managing repositories

Repositories can be refreshed, disabled, or removed at any time from Settings. Removing a repository does not uninstall extensions you've already installed from it.
