[Brian Bouterse]

Thank you for sharing this! Can a basic README be added showing a few
things a user could try after installing it from source? I also put a few
comments inline also.

mainly come from how we want to test the CLI packages in CI. If we want to
test them with every plugin change then we probably do want them in the

plugin". What do you think?
