Using a Custom Registry

By default, lde uses the official registry. You can point lde at a different registry by editing ~/.lde/config.json.

Configuration

Create or edit ~/.lde/config.json:

{
  "registry": "https://github.com/your-org/your-registry"
}

The registry must follow the same structure as the official registry: a packages/ directory containing JSON portfiles.

Hosting a private registry

Fork or clone the official registry as a starting point, add your own package portfiles under packages/, and push it to any GitHub repository. Then point your config at it.

All lde add, lde update, and lde publish commands will use your configured registry.

Note: In the future, registry scopes will allow you to configure a custom registry at the namespace level, so you won’t need to replace the global registry to use private packages alongside public ones.
