PatternHub

PatternHub is a structured collection of Adobe Illustrator patternmaking scripts — organized by author → block → version — with both stable and beta releases.
Each kit contains ExtendScript (.jsx) files that automate professional pattern drafting directly inside Illustrator.

MiniScripts

Lightweight Illustrator utility scripts (e.g., add lines, add notches, measure paths).
They live in /MiniScripts/ and are versioned separately inside the manifest.

---

Manifest

The root manifest.json acts as the registry of all available authors, blocks, and versions.
Each pattern folder contains its own metadata.json file for local details.

1. Fork or clone the repo.
2. Add a new author or block folder in the correct structure.
3. Update both manifest.json and any local metadata.json.
