MONS-GLOSSARY(7)

okay bestie, welcome to MONS-GLOSSARY(7) — the mons glossary page, aka the vibe check for all the special words this manual keeps using. it’s giving “cheat sheet but make it cute” 🎀✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

• mons-glossary — A Glossary of terms used in mons. main character energy, honestly.

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

not the synopsis being literally one asterisk 😭 no cap, this is the whole thing:

*

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here’s the lowdown on the terms, bestie. lowkey a cheat sheet, highkey useful. these are the words mons uses, and yes, you’re gonna want to know them 🦋

🦋 VERSIONSPEC 🦋

okay so VERSIONSPEC describes an Everest build artifact — slay. VERSIONSPEC can be any of the following:

• An Everest branch name (e.g. 'stable').
• An Everest version number in semver format.
• An Everest build number (the minor version of the build).
• A git ref associated with a CI build (e.g. 'refs/heads/dev,' 'refs/pull/474').
• An artifact download URL.

real talk: git refs will always look for a CI build, including branch refs. periodt. 💅

🎀 MODSPEC 🎀

A MODSPEC is a reference to a mod, used when adding mods to an install. ngl, the way that MODSPEC can be any of the following is sending me — here’s the whole list, bestie:

• The 'everest.yaml' name of a mod registered in the Celeste Mod database.
• The GameBanana download URL for a mod.
• The GameBanana submission ID for a mod.
• The GameBanana submission URL for a mod.
• The path to a local zip file.
• A Google Drive share link for a zip file.
• Any URL (fallback).
• An Everest 1-Click Install link for any of the preceeding items.

If a mod is not registered in the Celeste Mod database, and its metadata cannot be determined, mons will attempt to download and resolve it before installing. iykyk 🫶
