Packages

Browse the Hub, inspect package contents, install or update packages, copy items into your own sets, and review Git package risks.

Abbrio’s Packages window has Installed and Browse Hub views. Packages can provide items for Espanso; review the source and contents before you install anything.

Browse the Hub and inspect a package

Open Packages from the toolbar, then search or filter the Hub list. Select a result to review its manifest, README, version, and a preview of its items. Abbrio checks a downloaded archive against its published SHA-256 before reading it; this integrity check does not establish that the package is safe or trustworthy.

Install, update, or remove

Review the package name, author, version, README, and item list before choosing Install or Update. The Installed view shows package items read-only and offers update and uninstall actions. If a package has a trigger already used in one of your sets, inspect the warning and decide whether the overlap is acceptable before installing or updating.

Uninstall removes the installed package through Espanso’s package command. It does not mean that copied items in your own sets are removed; review those separately if you no longer want them.

Copy items into your own sets

Use Copy to My Sets on an installed package to choose an existing set or create a new one. The copied items become editable in your set; the original package remains read-only in the Installed view. Check for duplicate triggers after copying.

Install from a Git URL

Choose Install from Git URL, enter a package name and repository address, and check the command and source before confirming. Packages installed from Git are external packages and are not reviewed by Abbrio. A repository can contain configuration, shell commands, or scripts that affect your Mac when used through Espanso. Install only from a source you trust, and inspect its files before enabling or expanding its items.
