create terminal command to fill out metadata faster

[RustoMCSpit]

i can imagine that having a simple successive input questionnaire that outputs a file would speed up the metadata process

select file (automatically checks or builds checksums, architecture, etc.):
name:
author:
etc.

[RustoMCSpit]

it would also lower the bar for adoption which is key

StudioRack has this feature for creating projects:
studiorack project create

In code
https://github.com/studiorack/studiorack-core/blob/main/src/project.ts#L16

I think it's a good idea to add for plugins too

not only plugins, presets, chords, projects, etc.

off topic, how do authors confirm their identity when uploading data to the registry? id be worried if someone authorised something under someone elses name.

furthermore, is open audio able to use the github api to fill in new data after an update after the plugin is first uploaded like https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

I think it's ok to allow everyone to add/update metadata about any plugins. Submissions in PR should be manually reviewed to ensure relevance and files targets official distribution sources.

heres a huge list of foss plugins, then again i know you also keep a list in the studiorack project https://github.com/orgs/studiorack/projects/2

im too lazy and incompetent to fix this lol. forgive me.

[RustoMCSpit]

current issues:

1)) it doesnt check if it's a project preset or plugin
2) it's bash so i dont know if it works on windows
3) it cant even download a file yet (heres a basic script to do that)

#!/bin/bash

echo "Do you want to download the file? (Y/N)"

read -n 1 answer

if [ "$answer" = "Y" ] || [ "$answer" = "y" ]; then
    curl -LO https://github.com/igorski/delirion/releases/download/1.1.0/delirion.1.1.0_macos.zip
else
    echo "No download initiated."
fi

3.5) even if it could download files it would have no idea what they are named to do checksum and file size
4) doesnt create proper file structure
5) tags arent properly implemented and they should be sorted alphabetically automatically as well as capitalised
6) needs npm check
7) changelog poorly implemented
8) need to remove unnecessary spaces after inputs
9) need to work on how images and audio get sorted as currently you provide a url but it should make the url automatically and just need to be linked to it locally
10) check what each file contains (currently is just hardcoded to assume .clap and such)
11) need to clear screen after prompts
12) need short cuts (e.g. e for effect, i for instrument)
13) needs to work with both local files and downloading files
14) bizarre way of selecting linux mac windows and if you do not input it in the right order it will structure it wrong in the .yaml
15) barely any type checking, will break easily (time should also be re-arranged when inputted)

@kmturley ive no idea if youve any knowledge with bash but if i get this working as i want to i can add 100 plugins in an hour. i havent coded in ages and that was largely ai helping me out (though i have been working on it for hours lol)

however, this is not a priority and you should just ignore all my issues until you get this done https://github.com/orgs/open-audio-stack/projects/2
