jack publish

Make your project forkable by others.

Usage

jack publish

Requirements

• Project must be deployed (run jack ship first)
• You must have a username set (prompted during first login)

What Happens

1. Verifies you own the project
2. Checks your latest deployment has source available (created automatically on jack ship)
3. Makes the project visible for forking by any logged-in jack user

After Publishing

Others can fork your project with:

jack new my-fork -t yourusername/your-project

Your project URL format changes to include your username:

• Before: your-project.runjack.xyz
• After: yourusername-your-project.runjack.xyz

Both URLs continue to work.

Example

# Create and deploy a project
jack new cool-api -t api
cd cool-api
 
# Make some changes, then deploy
jack ship
 
# Publish for others to fork
jack publish
# Output: Published as alice/cool-api
# Output: Fork with: jack new my-app -t alice/cool-api

Notes

• Publishing is one-way (no unpublish yet)
• Source is downloadable by any authenticated jack user (not open to the public internet)
• Forked projects are completely independent copies
• Your deployed worker continues running normally
