Workspaces

Overview of creating and managing Tessl workspaces

Workspaces within Tessl make managing it easy to create, share and manage your team's context.

Setting up a new workspace

create

To create a workspace, run tessl workspace create <name>

tessl workspace create engteam

> ✔ Created workspace engteam (019b324b-...)

list

Verify that your workspace has been created using tessl workspace list.

tessl workspace list

> ╔════════════╤══════════════════════════════════════╗
  ║ Name       │ ID                                   ║
  ╟────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────╢
  ║ engteam    │ 019952d9-...                         ║

How workspaces appear in the Registry

When you publish plugins to a workspace, they appear in the Tessl Registry with URLs that follow this pattern:

https://tessl.io/registry/<workspace>/<pluginname>/<version>

Example: If you publish a plugin with:

• Workspace name: engteam
• Plugin name: api-patterns
• Version: 1.0.0

Your plugin will be available at:

https://tessl.io/registry/engteam/api-patterns/1.0.0

The workspace name and plugin name are determined by the "name" field in your .tessl-plugin/plugin.json file:

• "name": "engteam/api-patterns" where engteam is the workspace and api-patterns is the plugin name
• This is independent of your GitHub repository organization or name

The version in the URL is optional - if omitted, the latest version will be displayed.

Configuring workspace users

add-member

Add a new member to a workspace using:

tessl workspace add-member --workspace <workspace-name> --username <username> --role <role>

tessl workspace add-member --workspace engteam --username macebake --role publisher

Check out our supported roles to see which are appropriate for your users.

list-members

Verify that your users were added correctly using tessl workspace list-members <workspace-name>

tessl workspace list-members engteam

remove-members

Remove members using tessl workspace remove-member --workspace <workspace-name> --username <username>

tessl workspace remove-member --workspace engteam --username macebake

Managing your workspace

archive

Archive a workspace using tessl workspace archive --reason <text> [workspace-name]. The --reason flag is required. An archived workspace won't be available to publish to or read from, but can be unarchived later.

tessl workspace archive --reason "deprecated" engteam

unarchive

To unarchive an archived workspace, making it active again, use tessl workspace unarchive <workspace-name>.

tessl workspace unarchive engteam

delete

Delete a workspace entirely using tessl workspace delete <workspace-name>. Note: this will delete all content in a workspace, and cannot be undone! Use archive above as a safer alternative.

tessl workspace delete engteam
