# Tabby Plugins

This script installs the default Tabby plugins which are defined in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/tabby/plugins/package.json`

## Overview

This script pre-installs a handful of useful Tabby plugins which are defined in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/tabby/plugins/package.json`.
These default plugins can be customized by editting the `package.json` file stored in your Install Doctor fork in the Tabby `plugins/package.json`
file.

## Default Plugins Configuration

The script will install all the plugins defined in the `package.json` file by navigating to the `~/.config/tabby/plugins` folder
and then run `npm install`. The default configuration will include the following plugins:

```json
<!-- AUTO-GENERATED:START (REMOTE:url=https://gitlab.com/megabyte-labs/install.doctor/-/raw/master/home/dot_config/tabby/plugins/package.json) -->
{
...
// Notable dependencies listed below
"dependencies": {
"tabby-docker": "^0.2.0",
"tabby-save-output": "^3.1.0",
"tabby-search-in-browser": "^0.0.1",
"tabby-workspace-manager": "^0.0.4"
},

```
