Learning how to [write plugin manifests]({{< ref "plugin-manifest.md" >}})
can be a time-consuming task.

The Krew team encourages you to copy and adapt plugin manifests of [existing
plugins][list]. Since these are already reviewed and approved, your plugin is
likely to be accepted more quickly.

    supports Windows/Linux/macOS, per-OS builds, extracts all files from the
    archive
  - [sort-manifests](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew-index/blob/master/plugins/sort-manifests.yaml):
