Plugins with same repository name will collide

[samehkamaleldin]

According to the current implementation, if we install to plugins with the same name but different developer they will overwrite each other.

What should be done about this ?

then we will have to write our own registry to prevent duplicates which will force developer to rename their plugin as we use npm implicitly .

possible solutions:

• publish modules on npm as npm doesn't allow duplicates.
• force developers to use their github name as a prefix. for example : YusufMohamed-plugin

the npm strategy seems more appealing to me, but don't know if it's the best ?!

we can try. i will modify the code a bit but it will have the same functionality. should i proceed?

Yes, please proceed.
