Installation

nuke.pluginAddPath(r"./PipelineCore_nuke_installer")

What the installer does (Overview)
Your installer is a pipeline utility that allows artists or TDs to:
Install Nuke plugins directly from GitHub
Select Branch or Release (Tag)
Install plugins into version-specific Nuke folders
Automatically register plugin paths in init.py
Open plugin folders in file explorer
Update the installer from GitHub
Step 1: Launch installer
Step Paste GitHub repository URL
Example:
```
https://github.com/username/repository.git
```
Internal behavior
- Validates .git URL
- Enables version fetching
Step Select download type
User selects:
- Branch → main, dev, etc.
- Release → GitHub tags (v1.0, v2.1)
Code logic
Step Select repository version
Dropdown is populated with:
- Branch names or
- Tag names
The Install button becomes enabled once:
- A valid version is selected
- Install path is valid
3. Nuke version handling
The installer reads the running Nuke version:
```
nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MAJOR
nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MINOR
```
Example:
```
Nuke 15.1
```

Folder structure created automatically

Plugins are installed per-version to avoid conflicts:

~/.nuke/
 └── VFX Pipeline Tools/
     └── Nuke15.1/
         └── PluginName/

This allows:
- Multiple Nuke versions on the same machine
- Clean pipeline isolation
Default install path logic
If the user does not override the folder:
```
~/.nuke/VFX Pipeline Tools/Nuke{version}/{repo_name}
```

Example:

~/.nuke/VFX Pipeline Tools/Nuke15.1/Stamps

Major-restricted install

if nuke.NUKE_VERSION_MAJOR == 15:
    nuke.pluginAddPath("path")
