Remote Content in Open 3D Engine

The Open 3D Engine (O3DE) includes a built-in way to share and download Gems, Projects, and Templates using Remote Repositories that can be on your local computer, a web server or in a Git repository like those hosted in GitHub . The Project Manager and O3DE CLI can display and download content from Remote Repositories and help you create your own Remote Repositories and add content to them.

The official O3DE Remote Repository is https://canonical.o3de.org and is included in the engine.json file at the engine root, making it available by default to all users. Changes to the https://canonical.o3de.org/repo.json file that lists all the available content to download take place through pull requests in the https://github.com/o3de/canonical.o3de.org GitHub repository.
