score-hub

The CLI install layer for the Score community provisioners ecosystem.

Replace 140-character raw GitHub URLs with a single install command.

# Before score-hub:
score-k8s init --provisioners \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/score-spec/community-provisioners/refs/heads/main/dapr-pubsub/score-k8s/10-redis-dapr-pubsub.provisioners.yaml

# After score-hub:
score-hub install dapr-pubsub --variant redis

score-hub is to community-provisioners what Krew is to kubectl plugins.

Quick Start (60 seconds)

# 1. Install score-hub
go install github.com/ShantKhatri/score-hub-cli@latest

# 2. Search for provisioners
score-hub search

# 3. Get details on a provisioner
score-hub info dapr-pubsub

# 4. Install into your Score project
cd my-score-project
score-hub install dapr-pubsub --variant redis

# 5. Use normally with score-k8s
score-k8s generate score.yaml

Commands

score-hub search [query]

Search for provisioners by name, category, or keyword. If no query is provided, all available provisioners are grouped by category.

score-hub search               # list all provisioners grouped by category
score-hub search dapr          # search by name
score-hub search messaging     # search by category
score-hub search --platform k8s  # filter by platform
score-hub search --json        # JSON output

score-hub info <name>

Show detailed information about a provisioner including variants, prerequisites, and install commands.

score-hub info dapr-pubsub
score-hub info route --json
score-hub info llm-model

score-hub install <name> [flags]

Install a provisioner into your Score project directory.

score-hub install dapr-pubsub --variant redis
score-hub install dapr-pubsub --variant redis --platform k8s
score-hub install dapr-pubsub@1.0.0 --variant redis
score-hub install environment --yes    # skip confirmation

Flags:

• --variant — Select a specific variant (required if multiple exist)
• --platform — Override platform detection (k8s or compose)
• --yes — Skip confirmation prompts
• --no-verify — Skip checksum verification (not recommended)
• --dir — Override install directory

score-hub list

List installed provisioners in the current project.

score-hub list
score-hub list --json

Platform Detection

score-hub automatically detects your Score platform in this priority:

1. --platform flag
2. SCORE_HUB_PLATFORM environment variable
3. ~/.score-hub/config.yaml platform setting
4. .score-k8s/ directory in current directory
5. .score-compose/ directory in current directory
6. score-k8s binary in PATH
7. score-compose binary in PATH

Lock File

score-hub creates a .score-hub.lock file tracking installed provisioners with version pins and checksums. Commit this to source control for reproducible provisioner installs.

Configuration

Optional config at ~/.score-hub/config.yaml:

apiVersion: score-hub/v1alpha1
registry: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/score-hub/index/main/index.yaml
platform: auto  # k8s | compose | auto
cache:
  ttl: 1h
  dir: ~/.score-hub/cache/

Global Flags

--platform string    Score platform: k8s or compose (default: auto-detect)
--json               Output in JSON format
--no-cache           Skip local index cache, fetch fresh
--verbose            Verbose output
--registry string    Override registry URL

Architecture

score-hub uses a Resolver interface abstraction that decouples CLI commands from the data backend. v0.1 ships with a GitHub-backed resolver. The architecture supports future backends (local filesystem, HTTP API, private registries).

score-hub CLI → Resolver Interface → GitHub (community-provisioners)

Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/ShantKhatri/score-hub-cli.git
cd cli
make build

Index Maintenance

When provisioners are updated in the upstream repository, the checksums in score-hub must be synced to ensure verification passes. We provide a utility script to do this automatically:

# Print a diff report of any upstream changes
go run scripts/sync_checksums.go

# Auto-update the index.yaml file in place
go run scripts/sync_checksums.go --update
