`protop.json`

The protop.json file (also called the manifest) is created in your project's root directory when you initialize a project, but you can also just create it manually. An example of a manifest might look like this:

{
  "name": "awesome-protos",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "organization": "awesomelabs",
  "dependencies": {
    "awesomelabs/numbers": "git:https://github.com/protop-io/numbers-protos@master",
    "awesomelabs/numbers-hub": "gh:protop-io/numbers-protos",
    "awesomelabs/numbers-bucket": "bb:protop-io/numbers-protos@feature/my-feature-branch",
    "awesomelabs/numbers-lab": "gl:protop-io/numbers-protos@development"
  }
}

A git repository hosted on GitHub can be used with the "gh" prefix and the repository path. For example: gh:protop-io/numbers-protos.

Bitbucket Source

A git repository hosted on Bitbucket can be used with the "bb" prefix and the repository path. For example: bb:protop-io/numbers-protos.
