**ComfyUI-Manager** is an extension designed to enhance the usability of [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI). It offers management functions to **install, remove, disable, and enable** various custom nodes of ComfyUI. Furthermore, this extension provides a hub feature and convenience functions to access a wide range of information within ComfyUI.
* 🏆 Join us for the [ComfyUI Workflow Contest](https://contest.openart.ai/), hosted by OpenArt AI (11.27.2023 - 12.15.2023). Our esteemed judge panel includes Scott E. Detweiler, Olivio Sarikas, MERJIC麦橘, among others. We're also thrilled to have the authors of ComfyUI Manager and AnimateDiff as our special guests!
This repository provides Colab notebooks that allow you to install and use ComfyUI, including ComfyUI-Manager. To use ComfyUI, [click on this link](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager/blob/main/notebooks/comfyui_colab_with_manager.ipynb).
* Support for installing ComfyUI
* Support for basic installation of ComfyUI-Manager
* Support for automatically installing dependencies of custom nodes upon restarting Colab notebooks.
* When the 'Use local DB' feature is enabled, the application will utilize the data stored locally on your device, rather than retrieving node/model information over the internet
* The ```Fetch Updates``` menu retrieves update data for custom nodes locally. Actual updates are applied by clicking the ```Update``` button in the ```Install Custom Nodes``` menu.
## How to register your custom node into ComfyUI-Manager
* Add an entry to `custom-node-list.json` located in the root of ComfyUI-Manager and submit a Pull Request.
* NOTE: Before submitting the PR after making changes, please check `Use local DB` and ensure that the extension list loads without any issues in the `Install custom nodes` dialog. Occasionally, missing or extra commas can lead to JSON syntax errors.
* The remaining JSON will be updated through scripts in the future, so you don't need to worry about it.
* Currently, the system operates by cloning the git repository and sequentially installing the dependencies listed in requirements.txt using pip, followed by invoking the install.py script. In the future, we plan to discuss and determine the specifications for supporting custom nodes.
* Please submit a pull request to update either the custom-node-list.json or model-list.json file.
* When you write a docstring in the header of the .py file for the Node as follows, it will be used for managing the database in the Manager.
* Currently, only the `nickname` is being used, but other parts will also be utilized in the future.
* The `nickname` will be the name displayed on the badge of the node.
* If there is no `nickname`, it will be truncated to 20 characters from the arbitrarily written title and used.

@description: This extension offers various detector nodes and detailer nodes that allow you to configure a workflow that automatically enhances facial details. And provide iterative upscaler.
*`node_list.json` - When your custom nodes pattern of NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS is not conventional, it is used to manually provide a list of nodes for reference. ([example](https://github.com/melMass/comfy_mtb/raw/main/node_list.json))
* When you click on the ```Install Missing Custom Nodes``` button in the menu, it displays a list of extension nodes that contain nodes not currently present in the workflow.
* If your `git.exe` is installed in a specific location other than system git, please install ComfyUI-Manager and run ComfyUI. Then, specify the path including the file name in `git_exe = ` in the ComfyUI-Manager/config.ini file that is generated.
* If updating ComfyUI-Manager itself fails, please go to the **ComfyUI-Manager** directory and execute the command `git update-ref refs/remotes/origin/main a361cc1 && git fetch --all && git pull`.
* Alternatively, download the update-fix.py script from [update-fix.py](https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager/raw/main/scripts/update-fix.py) and place it in the ComfyUI-Manager directory. Then, run it using your Python command.
* For cases where nodes like `PreviewTextNode` from `ComfyUI_Custom_Nodes_AlekPet` are only supported as front-end nodes, we currently do not provide missing nodes for them.
