# {metadata.title}
Commands in the Medusa CLI starting with `plugin:` perform actions related to [plugin development](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/plugins).
<Note>
These commands are available starting from [Medusa v2.3.0](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/releases/tag/v2.3.0).
</Note>
## plugin\:publish
Publish a plugin into the local packages registry. The command uses [Yalc](https://github.com/wclr/yalc) under the hood to publish the plugin to a local package registry. You can then install the plugin in a local Medusa project using the [plugin\:add](#pluginadd) command.
```bash
npx medusa plugin:publish
```

## plugin\:add
