Picking and sharing toolkits
Section titled “Picking and sharing toolkits”A project default is the toolkit used for that project when no toolkit was chosen for the individual launch. The workspace default is the final fallback. See Toolkit selection order.
My tools is the account-wide collection of tool sources. Registry is the shared catalog. Tool Builder lets you inspect tools and collect them in the Builder Tray before adding them to toolkits.
Follow updates creates an editable toolkit linked to the shared toolkit it came from, for update notifications. Save a copy creates an independent editable toolkit. Neither choice automatically updates an existing toolkit. See Community toolkits.
Keys and technical terms
Section titled “Keys and technical terms”A credential is a value, such as a service-issued key or token. A key is set on a toolkit’s setting, on the computer that uses it. A key that several toolkits share is set once for all of them. The Managed store is the local store included with Code Config.
A compatibility result describes support and setup for one tool and one coding app.
Map project is the interface label for connecting a project with a folder on a computer. A repository’s indexed map describes discovered tools; it is not the project-folder connection.
A digest is a content fingerprint used to identify a version and avoid downloading unchanged content.
The CLI names a toolkit with –toolkit, which takes its name or its ID, and its –json answers give each toolkit as an object with its id and name. They use host for a coding app and target for a delivery destination. Keep these exact spellings in commands; the surrounding documentation uses the product names above.
