New open-source overview: The Cumulocity Open-Source Explorer

Overview

With the help of AI, I’m glad to announce that a new Cumulocity Open-Source Explorer is now available!

With it, you can filter & find tons of open-source resources needed to extend Cumulocity.

Currently, it lists 259 official, 371 trusted (includes official), and 822 repositories in total.

Find the Relevant Open-Source Assets

Using the Cumulocity Open-Source Explorer, you can easily find the open-source extension, example, or documentation you are looking for. You can do a freetext search on repository names & descriptions, filter on programming language, or on categories.

A slider will help you differentiate between…

  • Official Repositories which are mainly published in the Cumulocity GitHub Org
  • Trusted Repositories which include official repositories but also repositories hosted by trusted contributors such as related orgs., partners, employees, etc.
  • Unofficial Repositories which include all available repositories found on GitHub.

A Filter for categories and programming languages will help you to filter out unwanted results.

Initially all repositories are sorted by stars (most on top). You can change that for example find the one with the latest updates, most forks or just sort them A-Z.

Tech Community References

Sometimes the documentation of the open-source component is very basic. For that, tech community topics are linked to each repository, making it easy to find additional resources like videos, guides, or code snippets.

Disclaimer

!! Caution !!
Unofficial repositories could be very old and not working at all. Also, as they are not related to Cumulocity, it could be that they are wrongly added to the result list. Please carefully check the repositories before you invest further time using them.

In general, the responsibility for support is bound to the owner/contributors of each repository. If you have any issues with the component, please raise an issue directly in that repository. Even an official repository is provided as-is and as open-source.

The license used of each linked repository may vary. Check it carefully before using it.

Feedback

Do you have additional suggestions on how to improve the explorer? Are there any issues with the explorer or some repositories missing? Feel free to add a comment or send me a PM. I (or the AI :robot:) will look into it to hopefully get it fixed soon.

References

In addition to the explorer, you can always use the GitHub search to look for Cumulocity-related content.

Also, an “old” overview is still available, which lists all repositories in a markdown-like page:

It also contains a repo.json file that is generated daily and annotates things like categories and tech community articles.

Is it possible to filter out “archived” repositories?

Not yet, but very good improvement suggestion! Should not be a big thing to add it

Added!
