See instructions on github

Obtain an API key to submit on the extension server

Contribute an extension description file

• See instructions on github
• Consider also reading Extension description file format

Requesting an extension version update   UPDATED

On your local fork, the idea is to create the following topic branches:

• update-<YourExtensionName> based of master integration branch.
• update-<YourExtensionName>-4.2.0 based of 4.2.0 integration branch.

Extensions build against Slicer trunk

The following instruction describes how to contribute extension description file updates for an extension being built against slicer trunk.

• Update the master branch of both your local clone and your online ExtensionsIndex fork

git add upstream git://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex   # Add reference to the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git fetch upstream                                         # Fetch change of the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git checkout master                                        # Checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master                           # Reset your local master branch using the authoritative master 
git push origin master                                     # Update the master branch of your online fork

• Create a branch named update-<YourExtensionName> in the clone of your forked ExtensionsIndex

git checkout -b update-<YourExtensionName>

• Regenerate the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file by configuring your extension with CMake
• Commit the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file to your cloned ExtensionIndex repository (provide a meaningful commit comment)
• Push modifications to your ExtensionIndex fork on github
• Submit a pull request to https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex (provide a meaningful commit comment)

Extensions build against Slicer 4.10

The following instruction describes how to contribute extension description file updates for an extension being built against slicer trunk.

• Update the 4.2.0 branch of both your local clone and your online ExtensionsIndex fork

git add upstream git://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex   # Add reference to the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git fetch upstream                                         # Fetch change of the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git checkout 4.2.0                                         # Checkout 4.2.0
git reset --hard upstream/4.2.0                            # Reset your local 4.2.0 branch using the authoritative 4.2.0 
git push origin 4.2.0                                      # Update the 4.2.0 branch of your online fork

• Create a branch named update-<YourExtensionName>-4.2.0 in the clone of your forked ExtensionsIndex

git checkout -b update-<YourExtensionName>-4.2.0

• Regenerate the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file by configuring your extension with CMake
• Commit the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file to your cloned ExtensionIndex repository (provide a meaningful commit comment)
• Push modifications to your ExtensionIndex fork on github
• Submit a pull request to https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex (provide a meaningful commit comment)
