# OpenLens Build Repo

##  Build Repo Only
This repo **ONLY PROVIDES SIGNED BINARIES AND DOES NOT ALTER SOURCE CODE** for the OpenLens repo. For software issues regarding OpenLens or the Lens IDE, go to the [Lens repo](https://github.com/lensapp/lens/issues) and open an issue there.

## Extensions

Starting with 6.3.0 some extensions are removed from Lens. To install these most used extensions simply type **@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu** into the Extensions page in the OpenLens menu and it should install automatically. If you see the extension rapidly toggling between `enabled` and `disabled`, restart OpenLens and enable it in the Extension page.
For sources please refer [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu)

## Overview

This is the Binary Build Repo for the [Lens repository](https://github.com/lensapp/lens.git) aka **OpenLens**. This build only includes the open source part of the Lens IDE and does not require login. This repo was created due to lensapp/lens#5444.

Download and use as is. If you have trouble about not seeing pod logs, remove old config files / extensions remaining from old Lens app.

Auto Updater is now live starting with every binary downloaded with the `Latest` tag or the corresponding release assets.
