Plugin Repository: Automated Emby Template plugin repository on Github

[ginjaninja 631]

Purpose:
I was finding it longwinded creating a new plugin shell at the beginning of a project.
I created this repository with an automated workflow to quickly instantiate a working plugin inside a git repository framework.
https://github.com/ginjaninja1/EmbyTemplatev2
Hopefully others might find a use, I'm hoping its going to make it quicker to startup new plugins.

• Zero-Configuration Scaffolding: Uses automated GitHub Actions to rename namespaces, solution files, and projects instantly upon repository creation.
• .gitignore prepopulated: To ensure obj, bin and .vs folders are excluded from repository
• setup.bat: instantiates a pre-commit in .git/hooks/ so any commit with "[bump]" at the END of description increases the the version number in .csproj.
• Working Plugin with thumbnail: Ready to compile plugin with thumbnail, pluginui configuration page with autopostback (autosave) and task.
• launchSettings.json: Ready to launch Emby with breakpoints for debugging
• Post Build Event: Ready to copy compiled code to Emby plugins folder in current users %appdata%.
• Supress dependency file: No value in copying this into plugins folder.

Further instruction/guidance in readme.md in repository.
Issues and suggestions welcome.
 

Disclaimer:
Vibecoded with Claude. The sample code will 'do work' if you schedule / run the task so avoid doing that 'blind'.
