Package Authoring

Use nubo init to initialize a Nubo package/project.

nubo init

This creates:

_nubo.yaml
lock.yaml

Init Prompts

During init, Nubo asks for package metadata.

Prompt	Description
Init: Project Name	Project/package name.
Init: Author Name	Author name.
Init: Author Website	Optional author website URL.
Init: Repository	Optional repository URL.

Project Name Rules

The project name must contain only:

• letters
• numbers
• _
• -
• .

Example valid names:

my_package
my-package
my.package
package123

Author Name

The author name must not be empty.

Website and Repository

The website and repository fields are optional.

If provided, they must be valid URLs.

Example _nubo.yaml

name: my-package
author:
  name: Martin
  website: https://example.com
repository: https://github.com/example/my-package
packages: []

Package Dependencies

When you add packages with nubo get, they are added to _nubo.yaml.

packages:
  - source: https://github.com/nubolang/color.git
    commit: f5063d6

The exact full commit and hash go into lock.yaml.

Publishing Packages

A Nubo package can live in a Git repository.

Other projects can add it with:

nubo get github.com/user/repo

If the package has dependencies, include its lock.yaml so Nubo can merge nested locked dependencies when another project installs it.
