unhacs

A command line alternative to the "Home Assistant Community Store", aka HACS

Installation

Usage

Unhacs provides several commands to manage your Home Assistant packages. It stores installed or requsted packages in a lock file called unhacs.yaml. This makes it possible to version control your packages and easily share them with others.

Add a package

To add a package, use the add command followed by the URL of the package. Optionally, you can specify the package name and version. If no version is specified, the latest version will be installed:

unhacs add <package_url>
unhacs add <package_url> --version <version>

If the package already exists, you can update it by adding the --update flag:

unhacs add <package_url> --update

If the package is a Lovelace plugins or theme, install it using the appropriate flags:

unhacs add --plugin <package_url>
unhacs add --theme <package_url>

If you already have a list of packages in a file, you can add them all at once using the --file flag:

unhacs add --file ./unhacs.yaml

Add a component from a forked Home Assistant Core repository

To add a component from a fork of home-assistant/core, use the --fork-component flag followed by the name ofthe component and then specify the branch with the --fork-branch flag:

unhacs add --fork-component <component_name> --fork-branch <branch_name> <forked_repo_url>

List packages

To list all installed packages, use the list command:

unhacs list
unhacs list --verbose

List tags

To list all tags for a package, use the tags command followed by the name of the package:

unhacs tags <package_url>
unhacs tags <package_url> --limit 20

Remove a package

To remove a package, use the remove command followed by the name of the package:

unhacs remove <package_name>

Upgrade packages

To upgrade all packages, use the upgrade command:

unhacs upgrade

To upgrade specific packages, add their names after the upgrade command:

unhacs upgrade <package_name_1> <package_name_2> ...

Use git tags

By default, identification of releases uses the GitHub API. If you want to use git tags instead, you can add the --git-tags flag to the base command:

unhacs --git-tags add <package_url>
