BRAT is an Obsidian plugin that simplifies installing and auto-updating beta plugins and themes directly from GitHub repositories. It removes the manual steps of downloading files and copying them into the vault by managing updates and reloading automatically.

Use cases

• test beta obsidian plugins from github
• auto-update unreleased obsidian plugins
• install obsidian themes not in the community store
• help review a friend's obsidian plugin before release
• manage multiple beta plugins in one vault
• avoid manually copying plugin files into .obsidian folder

When to choose

• you beta-test Obsidian plugins or themes hosted on GitHub
• you develop Obsidian plugins and want testers to try pre-release builds
• you want one-click updates for plugins outside the official community plugin store

When to avoid

• you only use plugins from the official Obsidian community plugin directory
• you need to install plugins from sources other than GitHub
• you are not an Obsidian user
