Those instructions are for plugin development. They are focussed on adding the plugin to the TW5 repo because that’s what you’d need to do if you planned to submit the plugin as a PR to the core. We should probably add an update with instructions for working on a plugin within an independent repo. You can see plugins in their raw state in the plugins folder of the TW5 repo. You can also add a “plugins” folder to your wiki folder (alongside the tiddlywiki.info <http://tiddlywiki.info/> file), and within that plugins folder have any number of named plugin folders (ie, the plugin folders will be something like mywiki/plugins/myplugin/plugin.info <http://plugin.info/>). > They tell you to clone the github repo, and install the tw5.com > <http://tw5.com/> edition, not the barebone server one.
