## Share via GitHub
To share a plugin via GitHub (check [this repo](https://github.com/TypingMind/plugin-stable-diffusion-v2-image) as an example):
1. Create a public repo on GitHub
2. Create 3 files: `README.md` , `implementation.js` and `plugin.json`:
* `README.md`: plugin overview
* `implementation.js`: this file contains the JS code, it is only required if you use Javascript code implementation. It must contain a function with the name as same as the id in plugin.json file
* `plugin.json`: a JSON file containing all configs of the plugin, please check [this guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/plugins/build-a-typingmind-plugin) to understand more. It has the following properties:
* `version`: number, for other users to notice to update
* `uuid`: string, this is the unique id to distinguish plugins
* `iconURL`: string
* `emoji`: string, this will be used if `iconURL` is not available
* `title`: string, the displayed name of the plugin
* `userSettings`: JSON string, check details in [this guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/plugins/build-a-typingmind-plugin#0e3d2ca8c78f4b62b1a8504957bbb268)
* `openaiSpec`: JSON string, check details in [this guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/plugins/build-a-typingmind-plugin#f75675f108634820be70b39319cafb08)
* `implementationType`: string, `"http"` or `"javascript"`
* `httpAction`: JSON string, required if the implementation is HTTP, check details in [this guide](https://docs.typingmind.com/plugins/build-a-typingmind-plugin#f8f5759520614775aaf136c279931e76)
* `id`: string, uuid preferred

* `hasBody`: boolean
* `requestBody`: JSON, required if hasBody is true
* `requestBodyFormat`: string, `"json"` or `"form-data"`
* `hasResultTransform`: boolean
* `resultTransform`: object, required if hasResultTransform is true, its shape is either of these:
```json theme={null}
{
"engine": "handlebars",
"templateString": "string template value"
}
```
```json theme={null}
{
"engine": "jmes",
"expression": "string expression value"
}
```
* `outputType`: string, `"render_markdown"` or `"respond_to_ai"` or `"render_html"`
3. Get the GitHub repo link to share, for example: [https://github.com/TypingMind/stable-diffusion-v2-image](https://github.com/TypingMind/stable-diffusion-v2-image)
## **Import a shared plugin**
Find a plugin you'd like to use? Import it with these easy steps:
### **Import a plugin via URL**
To import a plugin using its URL, follow these steps:

### Import a plugin from a private GitHub repo
1. Generate a new GitHub personal access token ([https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta)). There are 2 types of tokens:
1. Fine-grained token (Recommended): Select that private repo and set **Contents** permission to **Read-only** 
b. Classic token: select the scope **repo** 
2. Attach the query `?token=[the-generated-token]` to the URL, for example: [https://github.com/TypingMind/plugin-stable-diffusion-v2-image?token=github\_pat\_xxxxxx](https://github.com/TypingMind/plugin-stable-diffusion-v2-image)
### Import via JSON file
* Create new plugin
* Choose **Import plugin from JSON**
