Get Started with Plugin Development: A Github plugin for workflow dispatches
summary
Hands-on walkthrough that builds a working Spinnaker Orca plugin (one stage, one task) which POSTs a GitHub repository_dispatch using Gradle, Kotlin, IntelliJ, Yarn, Deck pluginsdk and orca-api packages. Code shows plugin entry class, a stage definition builder, a task that reads plugin-configured token + owner/repo/event_type/payload, constructs an HTTP request and parses the response, and bundles extensions into a plugin ZIP for Spinnaker. Code compiles and stage wiring runs locally; the live workflow dispatch demo is attempted but not completed due to limited resources.
